The answer is Fjord. Long narrow sea inlets bordered by steep cliffs is called Fjord. It is created by a glacier. It is a long, deep, narrow body of water that reaches far inland. Fjords usually occur where ocean water flows into valleys formed near the coast by glaciers.

Answer:

Long narrow sea inlets bordered by steep cliffs is called a 'Fjord'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A fjord is a narrow valley connected to the sea that is only wide enough to allow the seawater flow in and out.
  • It is formed by two neighboring cliffs on the seashore with only a narrow slit-like open space in between them.
  • Various geological actions can cause a fjord to form out of which melting of a glaciated cliff is the most common action.
