What is the definition of "absolute location" in geography?
The exact place where a geographic feature is found
A place in relation to other places around it

How does "relative location" differ from "absolute location"?
Relative location is the exact place where a feature is found, while absolute location is in relation to other places.
Relative location is in relation to other places, while absolute location is the exact place where a feature is found.
Relative location is the same as longitude, while absolute location is the same as latitude.
Relative location is only used for oceans, while absolute location is used for continents.
A map shows a starlike symbol that helps you find north, south, east, and west. How would you use this feature to plan a route from one city to another?
By using the legend to identify city names
By using the compass rose to determine directions
By using the scale to measure distance
By using latitude lines to find the cities
