Concentration-changes in distribution-how close together-dispersed or clustered. Pattern-the arrangement of the distribution of features in a given space.

11. Absolute location or mathematical location is the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of a place. Relative location-the location of a place in relation to other physical or human features. Centrality-the function of location relative to urban places, resources, productive farmland and efficient transportation systems. Cities for example dominate their locations economically, politically and culturally thus displaying centrality.
