The equator is latitude and the Prime Meridian is longitude
The overall specific gravity of the earth is much higher than the specific gravity of crustal rocks which means the earth is about twice as heavy as the rocks on the surface would suggest. Iron meteorites are thought to have the same composition as the average earth, and the meteorites contain a lot more iron than the Earth's surface rocks.
Answer:
Relative location is a description of how a place is related to other places. For example, the Empire State Building is 365 kilometers (227 miles) north of the White House in Washington, D.C.

There are a few different types of plate boundaries, NOAA does a great job giving a brief description of each here:
