Movement is measured in reference to a relative point.

Example: You leave your house for work in the morning. Your workplace is 10 miles away from your house. As you get further and further from your house, your movement increases. As you get closer and to closer to your house, your movement decreases. Your house and your workplace do not change or move from their original places. But you as the individual are moving and the amount you move is measured as the movement to or from those places.
