	Firth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bodies of water named "firths" tend to be commoner on the east coast, or in the south west of the country, although the Firth of Lorne is an exception to this.
		A firth is generally the result of glaciation and very often associated with a large river, where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed to an estuary, such as may be seen in the Firth of Clyde.
		The Firth of Thames is a bay at the mouth of the Waihou/Thames River in New Zealand.
