Bodies of Water

Named water features: oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, gulfs and the rest of the standard hydrological typology. The tree under this category follows that typology (oceans and seas at the largest scale, down through rivers, lakes, wetlands and the smaller coastal and inland forms). Does not belong here: a landform that happens to border or contain water, such as a canyon a river cut, which is held under landform, or a physical process such as a flood or a current, which belongs under physicalprocess because it is an event or process rather than a place.
