Introduction to Human Geography- Blog #2
Today in class, we learned about cartography, maps, absolute and relative locations. I learned that we use relative location everyday to explain where things are while we never really use absolute location. I also realized that there are two main purposes of using a map. The first one is to use it as a communication tool to convey the distribution of human activities or physical features. The second purpose is to use it as a reference tool to identify an object's absolute and/or relative location. The most interesting part of class was to learn about relative location. It was interesting to know that we use relative location pretty much every day.
