Where is an estuary found?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An estuary is a body of water formed at the mouth of a river where it meets the sea. It is a partially enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. Option A is incorrect because estuaries are found in shallow coastal waters, not at depths of 300 meters. Option B is incorrect because not all estuaries are located within the top 100 meters of the sea. Option C is incorrect because a "small temporary pond of water" is not the same as an estuary.
