Where would you be safe?
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
Atoll
An atoll is a ring-shaped coral reef including a coral rim that
encircles a lagoon partially or completely.
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.
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
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
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.
Canal
Canals are man-made channels for water, which are generally both referred
to in the vernacular as 'canals‘
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
Cape
In geography, a cape is a headland or promontory of large size extending into
a body of water, usually the sea
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.
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.
Cliff
• high steep rock face: a high steep rock or ice
face, especially a rock face extending along a
coastline
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
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.
Desert
A desert is a type of terrain where little precipitation occurs and consequently
living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life.
Dune
hill of sand: a mound or ridge of sand formed by wind or water action,
typically seen on coasts and in deserts
Fjord
Geologically, a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or
cliffs, created by glacial erosion
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
geyser
spring gushing hot water and steam: a spring that throws a jet of
hot water or steam into the air at intervals
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
Island
piece of land surrounded by water: an area of land, smaller than a continent,
that is completely surrounded by water
Isthmus
An isthmus; from Ancient Greek: is a narrow strip of land connecting two
larger land areas, usually with water on either side
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.
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
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
Tundra
In physical geography, a tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered
by low temperatures and short growing seasons
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
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
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
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.
Peninsula
A peninsula is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but
connected to mainland
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.
Plateau
raised area with level top: an area of high ground with a fairly level surface
Prairie
N American grassland: a treeless grass-covered plain in the United States and
Canada, especially in the Midwest and the West
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
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
