A Region

A region is an area defined by shared characteristics, such as geographic features, climate, culture, or political boundaries. It can be a part of a country or the whole country itself, like the Midwest in the United States or the Amazon rainforest in South America. Regions help us organize and understand the Earth's diverse landscapes, populations, and environments by grouping areas with common traits. They are useful for studying regional differences, planning development, and managing resources effectively.
