The meanings of elevation and relief imply that

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elevation refers to the height above sea level, while relief refers to the difference between the highest and lowest points in an area. It is possible for elevation to be below sea level, as in the case of many areas below sea level such as the Dead Sea in Israel or Death Valley in California. In these cases, the relief would be the difference between the highest point (above sea level) and the lowest point (below sea level), and it would be greater than the elevation. However, in areas where elevation is above sea level, it is not possible for relief to be smaller than elevation. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
