Low relief sculpture is a technique in which the subject of the sculpture is just barely more prominent than the background. High relief sculpture is a technique in which the subject of the sculpture is very raised and extremely prominent against the background.

What and is the difference between sculpture in the round and relief sculpture?

In the round sculptures tend to free standing three dimensional forms -think of bronze statues or the lions in trafalgar square. In relief tend to be built up or carved out from a flat surface - medals and coins are good examples, they can still look three dimensional in that they have raised areas but the head on a coin is very different from the head of a bust. In relief sculpture can also stand up and you can walk around it however the proportions will not be right - in our head example the head could be on one side only with a flat back, or if the sculpture was in relief on both sides it would look like it had been severely squashed either side making an extremely thin face.
