  • absolute location
    the exact location of a place on the earth's surface found using latitude and longitude coordinates
  • cardinal directions
    north, south, east, west
  • place
    the physical features and human features of a location
  • physical features
    natural features, such as land and water forms, climate, natural plants, and native animals
