    How do I actually pronounce archipelago?

    I see it in text but I’ve never heard a human say it out loud.

    Is it soft like Archie, or hard like arch? Is “Lago” like Lago or Lego?

      It’s a hard K sound and the i and a are “uh” (ə) sounds. Like “Ark uh pel uh go” (at least in my accent).

      I’ve always pronounced it “ark-e-pell-ago” but I think “ar hie-pell-ago” is equally correct. The ego/ago thing is the same.

      Strait is connecting two large bodies of water while a river is what drains a land mass. Something like that.

    The lack of estuary is why places like the San Francisco Bay are misnamed.

      Apparently it’s to do with what they’re made of. A geologist can and should correct me, but I think mesas are made of flat layers of different rocks, and plateus are made of a single solid material

      i think mesa is fully surrounded by lower land but plateau just has to be elevated and flat, could be connected to other highlands.

    That butte does not match the buttes I’ve seen in real life. Then again, I’ve only seen the ones near my parents, in Oregon.
