The Antarctic Circle is an imaginary circle at latitude 66°30' S, around the south pole.

Altitude is the height of an area, measured from sea level.

Antipodes are a pair of points that are on opposite sides of a planet (like the North Pole and the South Pole).

A book containing maps and charts.

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

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

A central meridian is a meridian that passes through the center of a projection. The central meridian is often a straight line that is an axis of symmetry of the projection.

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 contour is a line on a topographic map that represents locations that have the same altitude.

An estuary is where a river meets the sea or ocean.
