    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.
