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.
Topographic Map
Length is the horizontal measurement and the vertical one is height. If there are 2 horizontal ones then length is the longer one, and the other one is breadth, or width.
Everyone who wants to get from one place to another and feels a map is the best way to find the route to travel. GPS have their place, but, a paper map is often the better way to find a route to travel. GPS is limited, and does have limitations. GPS and papers maps together is sometimes the better way to plot a direction. Not everyone has a GPS device.
By looking at it.
Topographic Map
A way of showing the sphere on the earth on the flat surface of a map.
Height is shown on a map by boxes, each having a number in them, 1,2,3 and so on. they normally measure in miles, which is the easy way for starters.

A relief map is a special type of map that shows landforms like mountains, hills, and valleys in a way that looks three-dimensional. It helps us understand the shape and elevation of the land. You can feel the bumps and dips on a relief map because they are made to look like the real land.
A circle. However, a way of showing a sperical object on a flat surface, such as a map of the world, is called a projection. The most widely used example is the "Mercator Projection", the familiar classroom World map, although there are many others.
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.
A Venn diagram can be used to compare and contrast two or more topics, showing similarities and differences in a visual way.

a rainbow?
One of the ways is a histogram.
A map is a visual representation of a real place on Earth, typically showing geographic features, roads, and landmarks. It provides a way to navigate and understand the layout of the area depicted.
