Valleys

A valley is an elongated area of lower ground between hills, mountains, ridges, or plateaus, commonly organized around a river, stream, glacier, or former drainage path. Valleys may be carved by flowing water or ice, controlled by faults and folds, or shaped by combinations of erosion and deposition. The type is broader than a narrow gorge and describes the containing landform rather than only the watercourse or settlement within it.

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.

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.

Forests

A forest in this taxonomy is a named, geographically identifiable area dominated by trees and associated vegetation. It is modeled as an individual mapped natural feature rather than as the generic forest habitat or biome category used to classify broad ecological conditions. Its identity may come from local geography, administrative recognition, traditional naming, or a distinct woodland area, none of which alone establishes composition or ecological condition.
