The various shapes of Earth's surfaces are collectively referred to as "topography." This includes features such as mountains, valleys, plains, plateaus, and hills. These landforms result from geological processes such as erosion, sedimentation, and tectonic activity. The study of topography is essential for understanding Earth's physical landscape and its impact on ecosystems and human activities.
If they are the same shapes but differ only in size, then they are SIMILAR shapes. Otherwise, they are simply different shapes.
They are said to be similar shapes and have the same interior angles.
The study of shapes and measurements is called geometry. It involves the properties, relationships, and measurements of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. Geometry is a fundamental branch of mathematics used in various fields, including art, engineering, and architecture.
A cube has 6 flat surfaces. Most boxes of all shapes also have six flat surfaces
Sphere, ellipsoid, torus, paraboloid, hyperboloid are shapes with only curved surfaces. Hemisphere, quadrant, cone and cylinder are examples of shapes with curved and plane surfaces. There are, of course, many others.
Different kinds of solids have surfaces of different shapes.
Well, honey, shapes that have only flat surfaces are called polygons. Think of your squares, triangles, and pentagons - they're all as flat as a pancake. So, if you're looking for some dimensionless divas, polygons are where it's at.

Shapes that are the same except for their size are called "similar".
A shadow can be called a projection, if you are discussing the way one shape can be transformed into another as a shadow.
