    What does Absolute Location mean?

    • A math equation

    • The Exact spot on Earth where a place can be found.

    • Another way to define location

    Correct Answer
    A. The Exact spot on Earth where a place can be found.
    Explanation
    Absolute Location refers to the precise geographic coordinates that identify the exact spot on Earth where a place can be found. It is typically expressed using latitude and longitude coordinates or a specific address. This definition distinguishes it from relative location, which describes the position of a place in relation to other landmarks or geographic features. Absolute Location provides a standardized and universally understood method of identifying and locating places on Earth's surface.

    Explanation
    The statement suggests that people migrate to other areas in order to escape difficult circumstances and seek a better life. This is a common reason for migration, as individuals often move to places where they believe they will have better opportunities and living conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Absolute Location is determined by using Latitude and Longitude lines

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Absolute location refers to the precise geographic coordinates of a specific point on the Earth's surface. These coordinates are determined using latitude and longitude lines, which are imaginary lines that crisscross the globe. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, one can accurately pinpoint a location's absolute coordinates, making the given answer of "True" correct.

This means that humans depend on the environment for their survival, adapt to the environment's conditions, and also modify the environment to meet their needs. This interaction is a two-way process, as human activities can have a significant impact on the environment, including climate change, deforestation, and pollution. Similarly, the environment also affects human society, such as through natural disasters or availability of resources. Overall, this answer acknowledges the dynamic relationship between humans and the environment.
