A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.

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.
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.
A cave entrance is the natural surface opening through which a cave, cavern, lava tube, sea cave, or other underground void connects with the exterior. Entrances may form through dissolution, erosion, lava drainage, fracture enlargement, or collapse depending on the surrounding geology. The mapped feature normally identifies the opening itself and should not be treated as a representation of the full underground system.
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.
