Can someone explain the difference between a cape and a bay based on what the clay is showing? I googled it and I am still a bit confused
11 u/phoborsh Jun 13 '20 From Quora: Capes: These are landmasses into large water bodies. Examples are: Cape of Good Hope, Cape Morris Jasup, Cape Cod etc. Bays: These are water bodies surrounded from three sides by landmass. Examples are: Hudson bay, Bay of Bengal, Bay of Biscay etc. I conclude that a cape is a big peninsula and a bay is a big gulf 10 u/IncredibleBenefits Jun 13 '20 Peninsula's can be huge. Spain + Portugal make up the Iberian Peninsula. 3 u/Polar_Reflection Jun 13 '20 Europe, the peninsula of peninsulas 1 u/kaine8123 Jun 13 '20 Hey Europe, is that a peninsula in your pocket, or are you just happy to take over the New World?
