Why is this relevant? How is it used?
Local relief is the difference in height (elevation) between two points – generally a relatively small area. Because the land may rise and fall between the two points, local relief is an important concept to understand – especially for bushwalkers or hikers!
Discussion
Local relief is always calculated between two points, which will be nominated in the question. It is an easy calculation, and the answer will generally be expressed in metres.
