I may as well just pick numbers since my track record isn't very good. <G>

I'll take these:

<< 4. a fjord; a lagoon.

<< 15. a hart in his third year.

Judy Madnick

I'll go for 7 and 11.

Without any great hope of success, I'll try #1 and #10, both of which
sound dangerous.

[Millie]

I'll go with the landforms:

4. a fjord; a lagoon.

13. a dome of igneous rock between two layers of older sedimentary rock:
formed
by the intrusion of magma, forcing the overlying strata into a dome.

[Nancy Shepherdson]

I'll take the unlikely 11 and 13.
