the land around us is seldom flat. there are nearly always difference in height and differences in slope. sometimes slopes may be gentle and at other times steep. there may be hills,mountains and valleys or areas that are quite level. the wold relief is used by geographers to describe the shape of the land.

How do contour map show area of shallow gradient?
Contour maps have lines along points at the same height or elevation. The contours are usually drawn at regular intervals, such as every 10 or 50m of height change.Where contour lines are very close on a map, this shows that the height is changing a great deal over a short horizontal distance, and therefore the gradient is steep.Areas of shallow gradient will have contour lines that are a long way apart, showing that points that are a set distance apart in height are a large distance apart horizontally.

How do you show earth's curved surface on a flat map?
A means of showing a curved surfaces o a flat map is called a projection. Each type of projection distorts the appearance of Earth's features in a different way. For example, some projections distort distance, while others distort directions between two points.
