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.

Mountain ranges

A mountain range is an extended system of connected mountains, peaks, ridges, and intervening highland terrain linked by geography, structure, or geological history. Ranges can span regions and countries and may contain smaller massifs, subranges, plateaus, valleys, and basins. The category represents the broad mountain system rather than any single summit or compact mountain block.

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.
