THE SUPER COUNTRY CHINA Written By Ben Gerlach Location (relative) When someone is talking about location ask yourself this. Which location are they talking about exact or relative? That is what I'm going to talk in this first section of location in this page about China starting with relative location. After the second world war the world was split in two and the east and west was made. China is in the east about 100° and north about 30°. That is an example of relative with coordinates. Another example is shown in parenthesis next "China is located in the southeastern corner of Asia". The next time you invite your friend over for the first time and they don't know where you live make the description specific as you can. Location (exact) The next location I'm going to talk about is the exact location of China on this Earth. Exact location is where something is exactly where a pair of coordinates is like this example in quotes " Germany is at 43.000° north and 18.000° east. Now that is just a false example so kids don't use that for a school project. China is really located at a few coordinate pairs like 30.000° north and 90.000° east, 30.000° north and 105.000° east, 30.000° north and 120.000°east, 45.000° north and 90.000° east, and 45.000 north and 120.000° east. Those are the coordinate pairs that wil show up on the map on China. China's capital, Beijing is directly located at 39.9139° north and 116.3917° east at its center. Going back to the example with your friend coming over, tell them your adress and you just told them the exact location of your house.
