    An icon representing the concept of location. In geography, location or place are used to denote a region (point, line, or area) on Earth's surface.The term location generally implies a higher degree of certainty than place, the latter often indicating an entity with an ambiguous boundary, relying more on human or social attributes of place identity and sense of place than on geometry.

  3. Five themes of geography - Wikipedia

    Relative location, a location as described by where it is compared to something else. For example, Albany, New York is roughly 140 miles north of New York City. Every site on Earth has a unique absolute location, which can be identified with a reference grid (such as latitude and longitude).

  5. Bearing (navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(navigation)

    Relative bearing refers to the angle between the craft's forward direction and the location of another object. For example, an object relative bearing of 0 degrees would be immediately in front; an object relative bearing 180 degrees would be behind. [2] Bearings can be measured in mils, points, or degrees.

    Mongolia is a landlocked country in East Asia, located between China and Russia.The terrain is one of mountains and rolling plateaus, with a high degree of relief. [2] The total land area of Mongolia is 1,564,116 square kilometres. [3]

  7. Relative dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_dating

    Craters are very useful in relative dating; as a general rule, the younger a planetary surface is, the fewer craters it has. If long-term cratering rates are known to enough precision, crude absolute dates can be applied based on craters alone; however, cratering rates outside the Earth-Moon system are poorly known. [8]

  9. True north - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_north

    It is important to make the distinction from magnetic north, which points towards an ever changing location close to the True North Pole determined Earth's magnetic field. Due to fundamental limitations in map projection, true north also differs from the grid north which is marked by the direction of the grid lines on a typical printed map.
