Answer to Question 1

Answer: Relative location is locating a place by referencing it to another location. Situation refers to a site's location relative to other sites, and how those sites interact with each other.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: As Geography developed over the centuries, questions that were inherently local or regional started to have a larger geographic focus. As explorers attempted to chart the earth, regional geography developed. And as those regional characteristics were analyzed, commonalities were found that led to the development of topical and systematic geography that are more universal in their applications.
