Sample question
On a topographic map extract with a 10 m contour interval, the highest spot height is 845 m and the lowest contour, along the valley floor, is 210 m. What is the local relief?
  • 1 055 m
  • 635 m
  • 845 m
  • 210 m
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

Local relief = highest − lowest = 845 − 210 = 635 m. Adding the heights (1 055 m) or quoting either height alone does not measure the difference in elevation.
