1. PROFILES The drawing of a profile from a contour-map may be of very great assistance in visualizing the relief, and in the description and explanation of the land-forms. A geomorphologist in particular, seeking to analyze the nature of relief, is interested in surfaces with different slopes, corresponding to periods of peneplanation and of aggradation, but contour-maps often fail to bring out these significant surfaces.
