A flat representation of the Earth is called a map projection. The surface of the Earth cannot be accurately represented on a flat surface, so there are various way to approximate it. The different way are called projections.
A flat map that represents a portion of the round earth is called a "map projection". Map projections are used to display the three-dimensional earth on a two-dimensional surface, like a paper map.
It is challenging to accurately represent the shapes of countries and continents on a map due to the distortion caused by projecting the three-dimensional Earth onto a two-dimensional surface. Different map projections distort shapes, areas, distances, or directions to varying degrees. Therefore, mapmakers must prioritize what aspects of the Earth they want to preserve accurately, and this can result in distortions in other areas.
A flat-topped mountain is called a plateau. Plateaus are elevated landforms with a relatively flat top surface that are often formed by the erosion of surrounding land.
The high flat plains where the Andes mountains are the widest are called the Altiplano.
A flat land surrounded by hills or mountains is called a valley.

The Earth is a sphere. Maps are almost always flat. The method you decide to use in order to represent the highlights of a curved surface on a flat drawing is called the 'projection'.
A projection
Because it is a flat drawing trying to represent the Earth, which is a curved surface and there is distortion.
