Local relief is the difference in height (elevation) between two points.
Because the land may rise and fall between the two points, local relief is an important concept to understand – especially for bushwalkers or hikers! A

Local relief is the difference in height (elevation) between two points.
We need to find out the relief between point X and Point Y X =
160 m X Y Y =
130 m
