Today (Monday 30th August) we looked at the first of five questions we ask as we study Geography. The first question we ask is, "Where is it?" This is the theme of LOCATION. When we describe the location of something, we use two types of location: absolute and relative. Absolute location is the exact, unique spot where something is. Relative location is the general area something can be found or the location of something in relation to something else. In Geography we use a system based on latitude and longitude to find absolute locations on a map. We used a map of the United States to practice use of absolute and relative locations.
If you missed today, you will need to get the notes and make up work on your return. You will need to copy the notes from somebody and complete the assignment ASAP. To complete the assignment, you will need a map of the United States with latitude and longitude clearly marked.
