• The type of map projection used.

Time-Distance Decay refers to:

• The increase in interaction as distance increases.

• The decrease in interaction as distance increases.

• The constant interaction regardless of distance.

• The increase in interaction over time.

Relative Location is defined as:

• The exact coordinates of a place.

• The location of a place in relation to other places.

• The distance between two points.

• The elevation of a place above sea level.

Absolute Location is best described as:
