Nonetheless, there are alsodatumsbased on high water levels.[…]These two differentdatumsmay be included in the broader category ofverticaldatums,which comprises any plane or surface used as a reference to measure vertical distances (such as depths, drying features, heights on shore, etc.).

After that, a separate coordinate system is created over the surface of this body to generate horizontal coordinates. A mathematical earth body fixed in space makes up thehorizontaldatum.
