Thinking Geographically

Thinking Geographically

key questions:

• how do geographers describe where things are?
• why is each point on earth unique?

Intro-

regions are a highly contest yet important concept in the study of human geo and can be studied as they relate to space, place, and location. Regions allow us to generalize about a characteristic so we can better group them.

A formal region is an area with a high level of consistency in a certain cultural or physical attribute. Formal regions are uniform or homogeneous areas where everyone in that region shares common attributes or traits like language, climate, or political system. formal regions are primarily used to determine and outline political, cultural and economic regions.
