Also called a lagoon. A shallow lake formed when part of the ocean is enclosed by the development of sand dunes, sand spits, coastal banks, etc. When completely enclosed, it can become a freshwater lake when river water is pumped in. Examples include Lake Jusan (Aomori Prefecture) and Kahokugata (Ishikawa Prefecture). In a coral reef, it refers to the shallow water area (a few meters to a few tens of meters) between the reef and the land. → Related article Sian Ka'an Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
潟湖(かたこ)とも。海の一部が砂丘,砂嘴(さし),沿岸州等の発達で封じこめられた浅い湖。完全に封じこめられると河水の注入により淡水湖ともなる。十三湖(青森県),河北潟(石川県)等がその例。サンゴ礁では礁と陸地の間にある水深の浅い(数m〜数十mほど)水域をさす。 →関連項目シアン・カアン 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
