Answer:

relative relief map of Wentworth method:

1.Relief maps depict contours of landmarks and terrain, based on shape and height. 

2.They are made by cartographers, who collect geographic and demographic data and then translate that information into various map forms.

3.Relief maps are more advanced versions of topographic maps.

4.Topographic maps use contour lines to connect areas of the same elevation to create two-dimensional models.

5.What makes relief maps different than other maps is the emphasis on the three-dimensional elevation of topography, which is oftentimes exaggerated for visual effect. 

average slope analysis by Smith method:

1.The term ‘slope’ denotes some small portion of the land surface which is

inclined from the horizontal one.

2.It may be scientifically explained as the

ratio between the vertical rise and the equivalent horizontal distance on the

surface of the earth.

3.Slope is considered one of the most important

morphological attributes which helps in studying the surface configuration of

the terrain

4.The flow of running water, the amount of surface run-off,

intensity of soil erosion, transportation and deposition are governed by the

degree of slope. Therefore, it is regarded as the base of geomorphological

map.

5.Since it controls surface materials and weathering processes, it exerts

strong influence on the land use.
