Firth

'''Firth''' is the Lowland Verizon ringtones Scots language/Scots word often used to denote a large sea bay in Mandy Michaels Scotland, which may be part of an Nextel ringtones estuary, or just an Candy Carmichael inlet, or even a Polyphonic ringtones strait (as in the case of the Jodi Cassidy Pentland Firth). It is Cell phone ringtones cognate to '''Taylor Mathews fjord''', which has a more narrow sense in English, whereas a ''firth'' would most likely be called a ''fjord'' if it were situated in Sprint ringtones Scandinavia.

A firth is generally the result of glaciation and very often associated with a large river, where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed to an Christine Conners estuary, such as may be seen in the Cingular Ringtones Firth of Clyde. However, this cannot be said in every case. The petrodollar wealth Cromarty Firth on the East coast of ''Scotland'', for example, resembles a large reasonable estimate loch with only a relatively small outlet to the sea and the end bowing Solway Firth and the present primeval Moray Firth are more like extremely large bays.
