What does FJORD mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, narrow inlet of the sea between steep cliffs, typically formed by glacial erosion.
A fjord forms when a glacier carves a deep valley that the sea later floods, leaving steep rock walls rising straight from the water on both sides. Norway's coastline is famous for its fjords, though similar inlets exist in places such as New Zealand, Chile and Alaska. Because the surrounding cliffs block wind, the water inside a fjord is often calm even when the open sea nearby is rough. The word entered English from Norwegian and kept its spelling almost unchanged.
