Galicia is placed in the northwest of the Iberian peninsula, in the western end of Europe.
The most prominent geographical characteristic of Galicia is the configuration of his(her,your) littoral, which possesses(relies on) some Laugh at great beauty. They are inlets that get in the area creating a cut away coast. They divide in three groups: the Northern coast of Galicia, between(among) Ribadeo and Ortigueira known by his(her,your) cliffs; them Laugh Averages, which go from Cedeira up to Corcubión, are much less abrupt; and the Baixas, from Walls up to Vigo, are much bigger than the previous ones and are characterized by a soft relief and for being big ports of coat.
Them laugh Galicians are geological very special phenomena that are given in few sites(places) more (Ireland, China, Brittany): they are tectonic sunked(deeply depressed) valleys, of moderate depth, which form(train) transverse coasts for the penetration of the sea they and are affected by the movimiento of the tides, for which there takes place(is produced) in his(her,your) interior a mixture(mixing) of the sweet water of the river with the water of the sea.
The coastal outcrop performs great importance in the productivity of them laugh, especially in the Falls, with a production of phytoplankton three times superior to those of oceanic waters in similar latitudes. This high productivity (250 gr of C/m2) is due to the abundance of Nitrates. There are two seasonal outcrops one in March and other one at the end of summer .
