Maps-two dimensional or flat scale model of Earth's surface or a portion of it
Absolute location- exact latitude and longitude of a specific location
Relative Location- the position of a place based on it's location to it's surroundings
Two ways geographers use maps
- As a reference to pinpoint absolute and relative locations of places (learn where something is)
- A communication tool to reference physical and human activities
Maps have progressed over the years because now we have many ways of traveling other than foot so we can see the whole world instead of what is in walking distance. Early maps were used to get someone from point a to point b in walking distance and now they have evolved to see the whole world.
