True or false? Absolute is an exact location, and relative location is a description of how a place is related to other places.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Option A) The position of a place in relation to another well-known landmark – this option describes the relative location. As relative location refers to the place’s position with respect to another well-known landmark. Thus, this is not an absolute location and this option is an incorrect answer.

Detailed explanation-2: -An absolute location describes a precise point on Earth or another defined space. A relative location describes where something else by using another, familiar feature as a reference point.

Detailed explanation-3: -A place’s absolute location is its exact place on Earth, often given in terms of latitude and longitude.

Detailed explanation-4: -A relative location is the position of something relative to another landmark. For example, you might say you’re 50 miles west of Houston. An absolute location describes a fixed position that never changes, regardless of your current location. It is identified by specific coordinates, such as latitude and longitude.

Detailed explanation-5: -In contrast to absolute space, which is fixed, asocial, and timeless, relative or relational space reflects the wide varieties of ways in which distance is measured and conquered, that is, space as socially made and remade over time. Relative space thus portrays geographies as fluid, mutable, and ever changing.
