Abstract :
The concept of ‘relative relief ’was first introduced by Partsch (1911). It is one of the methods for the
measure of local roughness which is obtained by computing the difference between the highest and
lowest elevation (Smith 1935). The present paper deals with the analysis of ‘relative relief in
Mandawariya hills (Rajasthan). This area lies between 261615 N to 264500 N latitudes and 743845
East to 750000 E longitudes and cover an area of about 1176 sq. km. The data related to ‘relative relief ’
extracted from the topographical sheet (Scale- 1:50,000) published by Survey of India, Dehradun. To
calculate the frequencies and spatial coverage of ‘relative relief ’ , the grid method has been used. The
study area has been divided into (one km × one km) grids. In this research, Smith's method to calculate
the Rr has been used. For the preparation of ‘relative relief ’map, the values of ‘relative relief ’have been
classified into three categories. For a comprehensive morphometric analysis, statistical techniques and
conventional mapping techniques have been used.
