Types of Turns on a Snowboard

I'm trying to progress my snowboarding basics. I'm looking for official, or as close to official as possible, names of types of turns on a snowboard. I'm hoping having the correct terminology will allow me to ask the right questions and have bullet points to work toward.
The three main styles I'm aware of are:
Even those may not have the correct names. My understanding of skidded turns are any turn where your edge is not cutting into the snow and your tail is skidding across the snow's surface. A carve probably has many different forms, which I'd love to hear about, but would be where your board's edge cuts into the snow and you're riding on that edge in as much a track as possible. Hopping, which I'm sure has some other name, is where you start with the board about parallel to the fall line, carve turn on an edge until you're approximately perpendicular to the fall line, "hop" the snowboard out and twist yourself so you land on the opposite edge with the board once again parallel to the fall line, rinse and repeat.
Are my names and interpretations correct? Are there any other types of turns I'm missing?

- jumping or hopping turns
