the location of a place relative to another place Relative location is the location of a place relative to another place Ex: Washington, D.C. is about 200 miles southwest of New York City Absolute location is describing a place’s exact position on Earth of terms of longitude and latitude Ex: The center of Washington, D.C. is at the intersection of the 38°54’(‘ = minutes) north latitude and 77°2’ west longitude.

The term that refers to a group of places that have features in common is region Movement is defined as exploring how people, goods, and ideas get from one place to another Ex: food, fuel, and other basic goods
