  2. Location (2) • WHERE IS IT? • 1-RELATIVE • In relation to other places (Next to Russell Hall) • 2-ABSOLUTE • Found with Lat/Longs (your home, a city) • 2400 New Macland Road • Powder Springs, GA 30127

  3. Place (2) • CHARACTERISTICS OF A PLACE • 1-PHYSICAL • Landforms, water bodies, climate, plants & animals • 2-HUMAN • Pop., architecture, transportation, language, religion, gov’t.
