A region is a defined area of the Earth's surface or a part of another system that is distinguished from surrounding areas by specific characteristics. These characteristics can be physical, such as climate, landscape, or natural resources, or human-related, such as culture, language, economy, or political borders. Regions can vary greatly in size, from small local districts to large parts of continents or the world. They are used in geography, politics, economics, and many other fields to organize space, analyze differences, and plan development or administration.
