Answer:
A region is a basic unit of study in geography. There are three types of regions: Formal, defined by related, measurable characteristics such as climate, vegetation, or religion
Three common types of regions are formal regions, which are defined formally by government or other structures, such as cities, states, and mountain ranges; functional regions, which consist of a central place and the surrounding areas that are dependent upon that place, such as a metropolitan area.
In geography, regions are areas that are broadly divided by physical characteristics (physical geography), human impact characteristics (human geography), and the interaction of humanity and the environment (environmental geography). Geographic regions and sub-regions are mostly described by their imprecisely defined, and sometimes transitory boundaries, except in human geography, where jurisdiction areas such as national borders are defined in law.
