Vertical Land Descriptions establish rights to which features?

Explanation:
Vertical land descriptions establish ownership in the space above and below a parcel, specifically air rights and subsurface rights. These rights can be separated from the surface and conveyed independently, so ownership of the airspace or the minerals beneath the surface can belong to someone other than the surface owner. The surface itself is not what vertical descriptions define, and the other options are too broad (real property rights) or not tied to land (personal property rights).
