KQ #2 - How do geographers describe where things are?

Geographers use many different ways to describe where things are. They use maps of the Earth to help the pinpoint different locations they need to find. If they want an exact location they will use the absolute location. This is where they use latitude and longitude coordinates to find exactly where something is on the Earth. There is another way to describe where something is, not being so exact. This is called relative location, this is where you describe something compared to other things around it or where it is at. For example, using relative location if someone asked where John Carrol was I could say it is in the town of Bel Air. Or, I could say it is right here Bel Air High School. These are the different types of ways geographers describe where things are.

I don't really know many things about this topic but just based off reading what mr. schick had to say along with doing some of the research I found out I came to find out how pure their relationship really was. First I saw that he got this horse off a wager with his Dad. The cost of the horse was 13 talents. Which is equal to almost 182,000 U.S dollars now which is crazy. The horse passed away in 326 B.C. and most people agreed the horse died from old age not from battle wounds but no one really knows this for sure. Also from what I read it seemed like this horse was his best friend, sometimes in life you have a animal that you feel like is better then most humans in the world and this is how he felt. This horse went into battle with him, they rode around for fun, when your animal is around you this much and you are always having fun with it, it is hard not to get attached to it like this so I think this is the reason they were so close because they were always doing everything to
