Region A region is an area that has similar language, culture, government, or even landforms. A place can belong to more than one region. There are three basic types of regions. *Formal regionsare those defined by governmental or natural features(i. e., United States, Cache Valley, Brazil, The Rockies). *Functional regionsare those defined by a function or service (i. e., CVTD, United Airlines Service area or a newspaper service area). If the function ceases to exists, the region no longer exists. *Vernacular regionsare those loosely defined by people's perception or their ideas of what a place is like (i. e., The South, The Middle East).
Utah’s (Formal) Regions • Utah can be divided into many different regions or included in larger regions of the U.S. or world. • Three regions based on landform are: • Rocky Mountains • Colorado Plateau • Great Basin • Each region has unique features and characteristics. • We are going to read about each of these regions on pages 10-15. • Some questions can be answered using your map from yesterday or the big map on the north wall.
