    Absolute distance refers to the physical separation between two points that can be measured in units like miles or kilometers, while relative distance considers social, cultural, and economic connections between places regardless of physical distance. Absolute direction uses a fixed reference like a compass to always point in the same direction, whereas relative direction is based on a person's surroundings. Elevation represents the height of areas on a map distinguished from sea level, and maps can show clustering of objects found grouped together or dispersal of objects spread apart in linear or circular patterns.

    Absolute distance: The physical separation between two points on earth surface distance that can be

    measured with the standard unit of EX: a mile, kilometer, feet

    Relative distance: Is a measure of the social, cultural, and economic relatedness or connectivity between
    two places- How connected or disconnected they are despite their absolute distance from each other

    Absolute direction: Directions are relative to a fixed frame or a reference and always point in the same
    direction regardless of your location example a compass East/West/North/south

    Relative direction: left, right, forward, backward, up, down, directions are based on people surroundings
    and perception

    Elevation: is the height of an area on a map distinguished from sea level represented through different
    colors or textures on a map

    Clustering: objects found on a map group

    Dispersal: objects found on a map to be spread apart

    Linear: arranged in a straight line

    Circular: equally spaced from a central point forming a circle
