Please help me understand this sentence.

Further, we should realise that the model of a mode of production will be altered in practice by those geographically specific features of our differentiated world to which* other forms of historical explanation often give prominence: *relief, climate, vegetation and soils, demographic characteristics and ethnicity.

1. I couldn't figure out what the word "which" refers to.
2. I couldn't figure out the meaning of "relief" in this sentence.

Thank you so much!

Hi CJ,

Thank you very much!
Do "relief, climate, vegetation and soils, demographic characteristics and ethnicity" also refer to "those geographically specific features"?

Strictly speaking they don't refer to those features. They are a list of those features. They are examples of those features.
