Answer:

Relief features (highlands and lowlands) are important in many ways.a) Deposits in Minerals: Many of the highlands in Ghana contain minerals like gold, diamonds, bauxite and manganese. Example, Atewa has large deposits of bauxite.b) Settlement and road construction The lowlands make it easy to build houses, factories and construct roads.c) Rocks for construction: Our houses, factories, roads, dams, bridges are built from rocks quarried from the mountains. Example, the Tema harbor was built with rocks from Shai Hills.d) Fertile Soils: Valley and river plains have fertile soils for cultivation. The rivers deposit minerals on their plains when they overflow on the banks.e) Rainfall: Highlands (usually mountains) influence the development of rain. Highlands act as wind breaks to slow down the wind. As a result the wind rises up and leads to condensation of water vapour and forms clouds which give rain called relief rainfall.d) Watersheds: Highlands in Ghana are the main sources of rivers and watersheds. Example; Rivers Densu, Birim and Ayensu take their source from the Atewa range.

-Some of the highlands serve as tourist sites which help generate revenue. Eg, Mount Afadjato, Kwahu – Mampong ridge etc.
