Absolute and Relative Location Why is “location” important?

Absolute Location What is it? the exact point where a place is located (often given in terms of latitude and longitude)

Absolute Location Examples: Edmond, Oklahoma is located at 35.7 degrees north (latitude), 97.5 degrees west (longitude) Deer Creek Middle School is located at 2601 NW 234th St., Edmond, OK 73025

where a place is in relation to other places Relative Location What is it? where a place is in relation to other places Examples?
