Contour line connect points of equal elevation on a map, whereas relief is the difference in elevation from the highest and lowest on a map.
A topographic map shows equal lines of elevation, in set distances which can vary between maps (dependent on the grade of elevation change). elevation,relief,and slope.
Maps can show elevation with contour lines
An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.
Both will show the elevation. But a relief map, with its colouring and hatching may be easier for a novice to read. I prefer to view contour lines on a less cluttered map.
Relief is the change in elevation in a region and measures the difference between that area's highest and lowest elevation. Elevation is the distance above or below sea level that a region is.

Which share had the largest difference between highest and lowest price over the last 12 months?

relief
The term that describes the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts of an area is "relief."
Total relief is the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points on the map.
The terms to describe the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest parts of an area are relief or topographic relief. It is a measure of the vertical difference between the highest and lowest elevations within a specific area or region.
in topographic maps we find local areas in relief map we find things like mountain valley etc, well, the answer above is wrong the difference between the two is that a topography map has lines on it to show elevation and releif maps have colors to show elevation.
Landforms are commonly classified according to differences in relief - the difference in elevation between highest & lowest points
Topography, or relief, are descriptors of landform.
