Local Relief

Local relief is calculated by finding the difference in height between two points, or the highest minus the lowest point between the two points. 
  1. Work out the local relief if Point has a height of 734 and Point B has a height of 533.
  2. Work out the local relief if Point has a height of 964 and Point B has a height of 234.
  3. Work out the local relief if Point has a height of 874 and Point B has a height of 532.
  4. Work out the local relief if Point has a height of 945 and Point B has a height of 423.
  5. Work out the local relief if Point has a height of 644 and Point B has a height of 254.
  6. Work out the local relief if Point has a height of 744 and Point B has a height of 85.
