• RELATIVE DISTANCE

• based on what a place is near

• ABSOLUTE DIRECTION

• exact miles/km between two locations

Match the following

• SPACE-TIME COMPRESSION

• farther away two places are, the less interaction they will have with each other, due to the increased costs and time required to travel between them

• FRICTION OF DISTANCE

• the obstacles and costs associated with traveling over a distance, including time, money, and effort, which ultimately limit how much interaction occurs between distant locations

• DISTANCE DECAY

• technological advancements, like faster transportation and communication technologies, "shrink" the world by reducing the time and cost associated with traveling long distances
