Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In physical geography, a fjord or fiord (/ˈfjɔːrd, fiːˈɔːrd/ ( listen)) is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by a glacier.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fjord comes from the Norse fjǫrðr. This stems, in turn, from the prehistoric Indo-European word *prtús, derived from *por* or *per, meaning “go", “pass” or “to put over on the other side.” Fjord in its basic meaning “where one fares through", then has the same origin that the word “fare” (travel).
Detailed explanation-3: -fjord, also spelled fiord, long narrow arm of the sea, commonly extending far inland, that results from marine inundation of a glaciated valley.
