RELIEF FEATURE more or less as on Earh
Terms, completely borrowed from the terrestrial nomenclature.

Термины, полностью заимствованные из земной номенклатуры.

Not terrestrial RELIEF FEATURE
Terms,
which designate the forms of relief, which are not encountered on the
Earth. Some are discovered on several bodies, others – only on the
separate bodies.

Термины,
обозначающие формы рельефа, не встречающиеся на Земле. Некоторые
обнаружены на нескольких телах, другие – только на отдельных телах.


ALBEDO FEATURE
Terms,
which do not designate the form of relief. First of all, the regions,
which are distinguished by the reflectivity (i.e. albedo features), and
also the names, connected with the specific tradition. Albedo features
sometimes overlap with relief features discovered later. Albedo
features are in many cases of unknown origin at the time of naming.

Термины,
не обозначающие формы рельефа. Прежде всего,  районы,
различающиеся по отражательной способности, а также названия, связанные
с определенной традицией..


HYDROLOGY/METANOLOGY (persistently liquid material related)
Terms which designate a liquid feature (only on Titan)


MATERIAL MOVEMENT
Ephemeral / Movable surface feature

RELATIVE POSITION
Designating a relative position

Some
terms are used as “classical albedo names” which may cover the whole
surface and serve as a parallel identification of albedo features in
addition to a global topographic (relief) feature system.

Named features do not overlap, they are in the same hierarchy level.
Craters   (except for the terrae of the  Moon) are usually secondary level features.
Some large features (“0th hierarhcy”) of Mars have only informal names (Tharsis and Elysium Rise, Paleolake basins, Prometheus Basin, Thaumasia Plateau)

Lunar albedo names are false generics.
Several feature classes have no names, including small ones and large ones.
