2. Archipelago An archipelago (i/ɑrkɨˈpɛləɡoʊ/ark-i-PEL-ə-goh), sometimes called an island group or island chain, is a chain, cluster or collection of islands

3. Atoll An atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef including a coral rim that encircles a lagoon partially or completely.

4. Badlands A badlands (also badland) is/are a type of dry terrain where softer sedimentary rocks and clay-rich soils have been extensively eroded by wind and water.

5. Bay A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea formed by an inlet of land due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds

6. Beach A beach is a landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake, or river. It usually consists of loose particles, which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones

7. Butte A butte is a conspicuous isolated hill with steep, often vertical sides and a small, relatively flat top; buttes are smaller than mesas, plateaus, and table landforms.

8. Canal Canals are man-made channels for water, which are generally both referred to in the vernacular as 'canals‘

9. Canyon A canyon is a deep ravine between pairs of escarpments or cliffs and is most often carved from the landscape by the erosive activity of a river over geologic timescales. Rivers have a natural tendency to cut through underlying surfaces so will eventually wear away rock layers to lessen their own pitch slowing their waters

10. Cape In geography, a cape is a headland or promontory of large size extending into a body of water, usually the sea

11. Cave A cave or cavern is a natural underground space large enough for a human to enter. Caves form naturally by the weathering of rock and often extend deep underground.

12. Chanel In physical geography, a chanel is a type of landform consisting of the outline of a path of relatively shallow and narrow body of fluid, most commonly the confine of a river, river delta or strait.

13. Cliff • high steep rock face: a high steep rock or ice face, especially a rock face extending along a coastline

14. Continent A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, with up to seven regions commonly regarded as continents. These are—from largest in size to smallest: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia

15. Delta A river delta is a landform that is formed at the mouth of a river, where the river flows into an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, or reservoir. Deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river.

16. Desert A desert is a type of terrain where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life.

17. Dune hill of sand: a mound or ridge of sand formed by wind or water action, typically seen on coasts and in deserts

18. Fjord Geologically, a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs, created by glacial erosion

19. Forest large dense growth of trees: a large area of land covered in trees and other plants growing close together, or the trees growing on it

20. geyser spring gushing hot water and steam: a spring that throws a jet of hot water or steam into the air at intervals

21. iceberg mass of floating ice: a large mounded mass of ice that has broken away from a glacier and floats in the sea, with the greater part of its bulk under the water

22. Island piece of land surrounded by water: an area of land, smaller than a continent, that is completely surrounded by water

23. Isthmus An isthmus; from Ancient Greek: is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas, usually with water on either side

24. Sea The continuous body of salt water covering most of the earth's surface, especially this body regarded as a geophysical entity distinct from earth and sky.

25. Sound In geography a sound or seaway is a large sea or ocean inlet larger than a bay, deeper than a bight, and wider than a fjord; or it may be defined as a narrow sea or ocean channel between two bodies of land

26. Swamp A swamp is a wetland that is forested.Many swamps occur along large rivers, where they are critically dependent upon natural water level fluctuations

27. Tundra In physical geography, a tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons

28. Valley low-lying area: a long low area of land, often with a river or stream running through it, that is surrounded by higher ground

29. Volcano opening in Earth's crust: a naturally occurring opening in the surface of the Earth through which molten, gaseous, and solid material is ejected

30. Waterfall river water falling over steep place: a vertical stream of water that occurs where a river or stream falls over the edge of a steep place

31. Ocean large sea: a large expanse of salt water, especially any of the Earth's five main such areas, the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic oceans.

32. Peninsula A peninsula is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland

33. Plain In geography, a plain is a fertile region. They are vast and flat and are very conducive to habitation. For these reasons, the plains of the world have the highest density of population.

34. Plateau raised area with level top: an area of high ground with a fairly level surface

35. Prairie N American grassland: a treeless grass-covered plain in the United States and Canada, especially in the Midwest and the West

36. River large natural channel of water: a natural stream of water that flows through land and empties into a body of water such as an ocean or lake

37. Jungle A jungle is land covered with dense vegetation. Application of the term has varied greatly during the last several centuries, both because of this ambiguity in the application of the term and its use in popular culture
