Cliffs

A cliff is a steep to near-vertical face of exposed rock or consolidated material that creates an abrupt break in terrain. Cliffs can form through coastal or river erosion, faulting, uplift, glacial excavation, volcanic processes, or slope retreat. The type describes the face itself and should remain distinct from a broader escarpment, canyon, ridge, or mountain unless the source explicitly connects those forms.

Sinkholes

A sinkhole is a closed surface depression formed when soluble rock dissolves, subsurface material is removed, or the ground collapses into an underlying void. Sinkholes are common in karst terrain but can also result from other natural subsurface processes and may be dry, water-filled, gradual, or abrupt in origin. The type does not by itself establish a cenote, active hazard, or connection to a known cave system.

Volcanoes

A volcano is a landform or volcanic center built around one or more vents through which magma, ash, gases, or fragmented material have reached the surface. Volcanoes include varied forms such as shields, stratovolcanoes, cones, domes, calderas, and complex systems, each with different histories and structures. The type identifies volcanic origin but does not establish present activity, hazard level, or a particular volcano class.
