what is 'correspondence' and 'turn based' and '960' chess ?

I thik i have been playing live blitz(10.0) and standard(30.0)

What are the time thresholds for when Standard become Blitz and Blitz becomes bullet.

Correspondence is where you have one or more days for each move, turn-based is the same thing.

960 is Fischer Random, where the pieces are placed randomly instead of in the usual setup.

Live games less than 15 minutes per side are blitz, less than 3 are bullet.

I  need a game of that - but it doesn't seem to be available on this site, but then again, some people are rated for it ..... paying members only?

It's only for correspondence/turn-based.
