LOCATION 1. Absolute Location – Where a place is located on the earth 2. Relative Location – Where a place is located in relation to another place

Grid System Absolute Location is determined by using lines of latitude and longitude to form a grid.

latitude – parallels of latitude measure distance north or south from the equator Equator – an imaginary line that circles the earth at its widest point - 0°

longitude – meridians measure distance east or west from the Prime Meridian. Prime Meridian – line of longitude that runs through Greenwich, England - 0°

The relative location of San Perlita is about 30 miles north of Harlingen or 10 miles east of Raymondville
