Swamplands are murky bogs full of poison, Badlands are a series of sandstone mesas encircling a Desert, Arctic tundra and mountains, Volcanic mountains spewing out lava, a big deep Lake, gently rolling Plains, and an unstable Crystalline landscape with mana running amok. There will also be a deep Forest, but that relies more on spawns than on terrain gen, as well as the Underworld which only appears deep underground.

It's a lot of trial and error, but with the right tweaking you can get sheer layered mesas, spikey lava-covered volcanos, and smoothly rolling plains and lakes.
