Document Summary
They"ll talk about it as being cosy or cramped space. The opposite of a closed apartment is a spacey apartment: another example is when we compare uft"s campus to mcmaster"s campus. Because it doent matter how far apart the stations are, we just care which one comes next. It isnt accurate: location--> we"re referring to a particular spot in the areal space, absolute location--> positions that are identified as commonly accepted in space ie; longitude or latitude locations. Mathematical, uses a grid system so it can pinpoint exactly where you are on the earths surface. Precise and unchangeable form of location: relative location--> it is changeable, open to interpretation. Ie; relative location of mcmaster, it"s a short drive from toronto, or a long drive from toronto depending what traffic is like. It is a changeable measure, but depends on different interpretations and familiarity: nominal (or toponym) location--> a place name, a name that we associate with particular places.
