My name is Natalia Carrion and I'm going to be talking about location in the concept of geography.

Location is an important term in geography, and is usually considered more precise than the word "place". A locality is a human settlement: city, town, village, or even archeological site. 

There are two types of location, absolute location and relative location. There are certain differences between absolute location. I'm going to be talking about those two types of location and their characteristics. 

Relative location is the position of a place as compared to another landmark. You might look at the position of one city relative to another, or the position of a bowling alley relative to the center of town. 

Let's say you're driving down the highway to go to the plaza or mall. When a sign comes up telling you it's 40 miles away, that is relative location. It is not very complex and actually really easy to understand the concept.

Absolute location describes the position of a place in a way that never differs, no matter your own location. The location is identified by specific coordinates. The most used coordinate system is longitude and latitude, which describes a specific place on the earth's surface. It doesn't matter if you are in Chicago or Dubai, the longitude and latitude of London will always be the same. Longitude is the position of a place on the earth east to west, measured in degrees. Latitude is used to mark the north-south position of a location on the Earth's surface and ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the north and south pole. There are 180 degrees of latitude and the distance between each degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles ( 111 km) (1)
Absolute location can also refer to an address. For example, the street address of the US State Capitol   is First St  SE in Washington, DC 20004. In both instances, absolute location refers to a fixed point based on abstract network of  imaginary locations. (2)
