Sound (geography)
In geography, a sound is a smaller body of water typically connected to a larger sea or ocean. There is little consistency in the use of "sound" in English-language place names. It can refer to an inlet, deeper than a bight and wider than a fjord, or a narrow sea or ocean channel between two bodies of land (similar to a strait), or it can refer to the lagoon located between a barrier island and the mainland. Overview A sound is often formed by the seas flooding a river valley. This produces a long inlet where the sloping valley hillsides descend to sea-level and continue beneath the water to form a sloping sea floor. The Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand are good examples of this type of formation. Sometimes a sound is produced by a glacier carving out a valley on a coast then receding, or the sea invading a glacier valley. The glacier produces a sound that often has steep, near vertical sides that extend deep underwater. The sea floor is often flat and deeper at the ...

Sund, Norway
Sund is a former municipality in the old Hordaland county in Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 2020 when it joined Øygarden Municipality in Vestland county. It was located in the traditional district of Midhordland. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Skogsvåg. Other larger villages in Sund included Klokkarvik, Tælavåg, Kausland, and Hammarsland. Sund covered the southern third of the island of Store Sotra, west of the city of Bergen.

Etymology The oldest known source for the name Sunds is from 1325, where the form ''Sunzsæ'' appears. Later evidence includes forms such as ''Swndz'' (1495), ''Gammel Sunds'' (1547) and ''Sunds'' (1688). The name is composed of the noun ''sund'', probably in the original meaning of the word ''svømning'', which means 'swimming', and the Old Danish noun ''sǣ'', which is a side form of ''sø'', meaning 'lake'.
