WALT: describe a relief map.
Relief" is essentially the opposite of "flatness". Relief is typically defined as the difference in height between the high point and the low point on a landscape, in feet or in meters. It could also be defined more qualitatively: like "low relief plains" or "high relief rolling hills". Sometimes we also differentiate a region of otherwise uniform relief by pointing out its elevation, relative to the surrounding regions. ]]> 2021-01-11 20:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/iverenn2468/ob6yb307dk20cqs4/wish/1076048583 2. What is a relief map? iverenn2468 https://padlet.com/iverenn2468/ob6yb307dk20cqs4/wish/1076064651 A relief map is a map indicating hills and valleys by shading rather than by contour lines alone. It is also a map model with elevations and depressions representing hills and valleys, typically on an exaggerated relative scale.

Techniques used to make relief maps include hachures, pictorial representations, contour lines, or combinations of these. iverenn2468 https://padlet.com/iverenn2468/ob6yb307dk20cqs4/wish/1076073764 What is relief map used for? 
        Relief maps depict contours of landmarks and terrain, based on shape and height. They are made by cartographers, who collect geographic and demographic data and then translate that information into various map forms.
                  In the case of a relief map, the elevation data is colored to show changes in elevation. A typical way of color-coded elevation data is to display higher elevation values as lighter colors and lower elevations values as darker colours. The color contrast creates a shadow effect and gives the topographic map a realistic look. The hope is of course that the end user will easily be able to distinguish between mountains and valleys just by looking at the map. A globe with raised mountain ranges is also a type of relief map.

Terms in this set•Continental relief can be plains, plateaus, mountains and depressions.•Plains are extensive areas of flat or gently undulating land. •Plateaus are elevated plains. •Mountains are very high areas of relief. iverenn2468 https://padlet.com/iverenn2468/ob6yb307dk20cqs4/wish/1076131702 Contour lines connect a series of points of equal elevation and are used to illustrate relief on a map.
