I see an article with a first subheading of "In this report, we apply basic scientific techniques to answer the question “Is Kansas as flat as a pancake?”." It's kind of a funny article. Maybe try this mirror: https://web.archive.org/web/20210511013956/http://www.usu.ed... ?

I click on it and I get a page talking about how Kansas is flatter than a pancake. I don't know why it didn't work for you.

If you stretch the pancake only to the dimensions of Switzerland, the vertical features would be a lot less high. And Switzerland has quite some height differences within a small area.
