How do you describe how surveyors use both absolute and relative locations as part of their jobs?

An absolute reference, usually called a benchmark, is a fixed
location on the ground. Frequently, it is confirmed by GPS and
other more accurate instruments. A relative location is derived
from a benchmark. Many survey document contain only one reference
to a benchmark; all other locations are relative to the location of
the controlling benchmark.

What is the difference between absolute and relative locations?

Answer:
Relative location means to locate a place relative to other
landmarks while absolute location is locating a place using a
coordinate system.
For example, you could give the relative location of St. Louis,
Missouri as being in eastern Missouri along the Mississippi River
southeast of St. Charles, but the absolute location of St. Louis is
38°43' North 90°14' West.
Asked in Salt Lake City, Latitude and Longitude
What is Salt Lake's absolute location on earth?

When searching for an absolute location, one must remember that
ALL locations, boundaries, borders, etc. as defined by humans are
relative to the positions of other things. Our latitude and
longitude measurements are relative to the position of the sun
throughout the year as well as the orientation of the magnetic
poles (the latter changes over the eons). Other forms of location
designation depend on the relative position of the stars.
You must also remember that all of these locations change over
time - the precession of the equinoxes and plate tectonics are the
primary reasons for these changes.
Regardless, the quick answer is:
Salt Lake City 40° 46' N 111° 58' W
