Word Confusion: Pool vs Seep vs Spring vs Tinaja

Pool, seep, spring, and tinaja are each a small pond but differ in that a pool is generally thought of as a swimming pool or fluids forming a puddle. A seep brings thoughts of a tiny pond that gradually appears oozing out of the ground. A spring more usually makes me think “bubbling spring” that also rises up from underground while a tinaja is most commonly formed on bedrock in this Word Confusion from KD Did It.
