Editing Fjord (section)

==="Fjords" not created by glaciers===
The term "fjord" is sometimes applied to steep-sided inlets which were not created by glaciers. Most such inlets are drowned river canyons or [[ria]]s. Examples include:
* In [[Acapulco]], [[Mexico]], the [[calanque]]s (narrow, rocky inlets) on the western side of the city, where the famous cliff-divers perform daily, are described in the city's tourist literature <!--or in guidebooks; more than one--> as being fjords.<!--I think they even attribute them to glaciation-->
* The calanques of [[Calanques National Park|Parc national des Calanques]], [[Provence]], France, are also referred to as fjords.<ref>{{cite web |title= The Calanques: A Gem at the Edge of Marseille |url=https://provence-alpes-cotedazur.com/en/provence/get-inspired/provencal-coast/the-calanques-fjords-a-jewel-at-the-gateway-to-marseille/#:~:text=The%20Calanques%20fjords&text=Welcome%20to%20Provence's%20most%20natural,the%20azure%20blue%20waters%20below. |website= cotedazur.com | date=30 January 2019 | publisher= Provence-Alpes-Cote D'Azur Tourism |access-date= 7 May 2024}}</ref>

* [[Bay of Kotor]] in [[Montenegro]]
* the [[Lim (Croatia)|Lim]] bay in [[Istria]], [[Croatia]], is sometimes called "Lim fjord" although it is a [[ria]] dug by the river Pazinčica. The [[Croats]] call it ''{{lang|hr|Limski kanal}}'', which does not translate precisely to the English equivalent either.
* [[Milford Haven Waterway]] in [[Pembrokeshire]], Wales. This inlet is a [[ria]]. The place-name is derived from Old Norse ''Melrfjordr'' meaning "sandbank fjord".
