antipodes are a pair of points that are on opposite sides of the planet (like the north and south pole)

An archipelago is a group or chain of islands clustered together in a sea or ocean.

An atoll is a ring (or partial ring) of coral that forms an island in an ocean or sea.

An azimuth is the angle that a line makes with a meridian (a line of longitude), going clockwise from north.

A bathymetric map is a map of the bottom of a body of water, noting the depth contours (these are called isobaths).

A conic projection is a type of map in which a cone is wrapped around a sphere (the globe), and the details of the globe are projected onto the conic surface. Then, the cone is unwrapped into a flat surface.

A delta is a low, watery land formed at the mouth of a river. It is formed from the silt, sand and small rocks that flow downstream in the river and are deposited in the delta. A delta is often (but not always) shaped like a triangle

A geologic map is a map that notes the structure and composition of geologic features, like the presence of minerals, rock types, earthquake faults, underground water, and landslide areas.

Geomorphology is the scientific field that investigates how landforms are formed on the Earth (and other planets).
