Landforms that were historically thought to be calm seas include features like sedimentary basins and certain types of lagoons and estuaries. These areas often exhibit smooth, flat terrains and are comprised of sedimentary deposits that suggest a history of quiet water environments. Additionally, ancient shorelines and marine terraces may also represent landforms that were once submerged under calm seas. Over time, geological processes have uplifted and exposed these features, revealing their tranquil origins.
Islands, mountains, deserts, and bodies of water such as oceans or seas can all be landforms that contribute to isolation by creating physical barriers that limit interaction and movement between populations.

Good weather for sailors typically includes clear skies, gentle winds, and calm seas. It is also important to have predictable weather patterns and minimal chance of storms or rough seas to ensure safe sailing conditions.
Maritime geography is the study of the distribution and interaction of physical and human features within the world's oceans and seas. It examines how geography influences maritime activities, such as shipping routes, naval strategies, coastal development, and marine resource management.

The lunar landforms that were originally thought to be calm seas are called "maria." These flat, dark areas on the Moon's surface were initially mistaken for bodies of water by early astronomers. Maria are actually ancient volcanic plains created by lava flows billions of years ago.
