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.

Beaches

A beach is a shore zone composed of loose sediment such as sand, gravel, pebbles, cobbles, shells, or volcanic material. Waves, currents, wind, sediment supply, and changing water levels continually shape its profile and extent. The type represents the physical shoreline feature, whether coastal or inland, and does not imply a managed bathing area, permanent sandy surface, or recreational facility.

Lagoons

A lagoon is a generally shallow water body separated from a larger sea, ocean, or lake by a reef, barrier island, sand spit, or similar obstruction while retaining some hydrological connection. Lagoons may be coastal or associated with coral reefs and can vary greatly in salinity, tidal exchange, and permanence. The type differs from a fully enclosed lake and from an open bay through the presence and role of the separating barrier.

Ponds

A pond is a relatively small body of standing water occupying a natural or modified depression. It may be permanent, seasonal, spring-fed, rain-fed, stream-connected, glacial, karstic, or biologically influenced, but none of those properties follows from the label alone. The boundary between pond and lake varies across local naming systems and cannot be reduced to one universal size or depth threshold.

Rock formations

Rock is a broad normalized type for a named natural outcrop, isolated block, exposed mass, sea stack, monolith, tor, or other prominent rocky landmark that lacks a more specific category. It represents an individual geographic entity rather than rock material in general. Source subtype and descriptive context are essential because the category covers forms with very different scales and origins.
