The relative location of the Bahamas is in the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Florida and North of Cuba. The absolute location of the Bahamas is 25˚ North and 77˚ West. This means that Bahamas is closer to the equator. That also means that it will be warmer than Iowa. Which is awesome because we have cold winters, so it is good to get away from that.
The place of the Bahamas consists of multiple islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The islands are generally pretty flat. The highest altitude is Mt. Alvernia which is 63 meters above sea level. It has a sub-tropical to tropical climate and experiences hurricanes due to its location. It is vulnerable to hurricanes because it is in the middle of the ocean, therefore it is surrounded by water.
Due to the Bahamas tropical climate and being a set of islands, the environment contributes to the country's largest tourist economy. This makes the human-environment interactions great. The tourism industry employs directly or indirectly about 50 percent of the Bahamian workforce and accounts for approximately half of the country's Gross Domestic Product.
For the movement in the Bahamas, since it is made up of islands the Atlantic Ocean is depended on for import and export transportation. It is also depended on for air travel. A lot of cruises are taken to the Bahamas since it is surrounded by water.
For the regions of the Bahamas, it is part of the Caribbean community, and it is under sovereign of Queen Elizabeth II.
I think there should be movement and place.
