A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain.
It often has a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip
topography a hill may refer to a particular section of flat terrain
without a massive summit.

A beach is a landform alongside a body of water which consists of loose particles.
The particles composing a beach are typically made from rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles.
The particles can also be biological in origin, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae.

A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop or a
series of steep drops in the course of a stream or river.
Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.

An island or isle is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water.
Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets,
skerries, cays or keys. An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot
or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm.
