Terrain typically refers to one of the eight basic land types, which are grass, dirt, lava, subterranean, rough, sand, snow and swamp. Water can also be considered as one of the basic terrains as well as rock, which is impassable (even with flying). Additionally, there are several types of magical terrains, that affect combat or spellcasting, with the exception of favorable winds, which increases movement over water.
