Question

why do we need to locate places on earth

Answer 1

Location is very important this is because it enables us to know the precise place of a an archeological site, human settlement, town, village or city.

An absolute location is a depiction of the exact site on an objective coordinate system i.e grid which mostly is the longitude and latitude on the map.

Therefore, locating places on the Earth is very important because it allows us to know and locate(find) precise place on the Earth like archeological site, human settlement, town, village or city.

Answer 2

Thanks for the question!!!

Location is quite essential to keep a tab because then only accessibility and distance of a particular place become precise and clear. Location is important to detect the characteristics of a particular place like weather, area, human settlement, population, flora and fauna, etc.

An exact location will help in detecting the longitude and latitude on the map.

So, we need to locate places on earth to understand where we are and where we ought to travel, distance between two places, etc. It is very helpful for us to learn about different regions and their geographical features and population dynamics as well.

Hope it helps!
