The absolute location means the EXACT location.
In the coordinate system, The exact location can be fixed to within yards/metres.
The system of location involves degrees, minutes and seconds.
One degree is exactly sixty nautical miles (Approx 70 miles), Each of these nautical miles in divided down into 60 minutes, which is approximately 30 yards/30 metres of length. Then each minute is then divided down again into 60 seconds. Each second is approximately 0.5(1/2) yards/metres .
So quoting coordinates by N/S and E/W in terms of degrees , minutes and seconds can pin point a location to within yards/metres on the Earth's surface.

∙ 13y agoBaisclly when you are trying to find a place with no adress. For example, if your in the military, you where given and landing destionation of an island you never heard of; they would give you the coordinates [ longitude and latitude ]. So you would have to use a GPS device by using those coordinates.

Absolute Location is a term which has no real meaning, since all locations must be expressed relative to something else. ie Latitude and longitude.

Why is the capability to relocate processes desirable?
A process may occupy different partitions which means different absolute memory locations during execution (from swapping)Compaction will also cause a program to occupy a different partition which means different absolute memory locations

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.
