Can canals be a type of river?
I always had the pleasure of being in a Chinese language with English as a foreigner. But the Chinese don’t understand canal nouns and rivers so I only try the most commonly used ones in Chinese. If you had to differentiate a canal from a man-made river, what was it? In English it is clear that all common waterways are separate terms and that this separate waterway is also two types. However, I wanted a generic term.
Is canal in nature actually a river?
What are your thoughts on the “Joanna Reeves” quote?
Were river and canal as natural and manmade, or were they a natural waterways? And why? What is the history of the Hood Canal in America? It is a fjord that was formed about 13,000 years ago by the Puget lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet about 36,000 years ago.
And this is not the only natural waterways named “canal”. There are several other examples in North America:
- Behm Canal, U.S. state of Alaska
- Gardner Canal, British Columbia, Canada
- Lynn Canal, U.S. state of Alaska
- Pearse Canal, part of the Canada-United States border at Alaska
- Oregon Canal, British Columbia, Canada
So, one must include in the category canals : a natural fjord.
Canal is a man-made waterway. After reading your answer you should recognize that not all a canal is a type of river in English. How does a river, in natural facts, compare to a different-men-made waterway?
From the OED, in sense 6a (which I think is most appropriate to the original ask):
canal, n. dijectories. A canal is an imaginary field, or canal n. n. Or any type of artificial watercourse created to unite rivers or lakes or serve the purposes of inland navigation. (The chief modern sense, which tends to influence all the other).
