Geography
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Relative location can be expressed in terms of distance, time and cost. Absolute is often given in terms of latitude and longitude</u>.

Explanation:

  • As the location is used to identify a point or an area on the earth's surface it implies a high degree of certainty.
  • Relative location is one which is about the other, for example, a landmark. An absolute location is one that is identified by specific coordinates, this is regardless of the current location.
  • Geographic location can also be referred s the Absolute location. An example of a relative is that you say there are 50 miles to Houston, and absolute is the exact point of location as Empire state building located in the exact street with an exact number.
  • Absolute location can be measured through scientific means, as it's based on latitude and longitude of earth.

il63 [147K]

Answer:  The correct answer is :  (2) all inorganic rocks except igneous rocks are formed from other rocks

Explanation:  Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of magma, the process is slow if it is in the crust and fast if it is on the surface.

Sedimentary rocks are formed on the surface of the earth by processes of erosion and alteration of pre-existing rocks.

Metamorphic rocks have been formed by the evolution of another previous rock due to the environment to which it is subjected that may be hotter, colder or of a different pressure.
