Capes

A cape is a prominent projection of land extending into a sea, ocean, lake, or other large water body and altering the surrounding shoreline direction. Its form may reflect resistant rock, erosion, sediment deposition, uplift, or broader coastal structure. The term describes geographic prominence and does not by itself establish cliffs, a lighthouse, a navigation role, or formal boundaries distinct from a headland.

Peaks

A peak is a named summit or locally highest point on a mountain, ridge, hill, massif, or other elevated landform. Its identity may be defined by elevation, prominence, topographic form, established naming, or its position within a larger mountain system. A peak is the summit feature itself, not automatically the entire mountain or range that contains it.
