A region is a large mass of land that has common features and covers different places.

An example of this is the provinces of Canada.

There are three types of regions

Formal Regions:
Regions defined by governmental or administrative boundaries (States, Countries, Cities)
Functional Regions:
Regions defined by a function (newspaper service area, cell phone coverage area).

Vernacular Regions:
Regions defined by similar characteristics like natural features (Corn Belt, Rocky Mountain region) or people’s perceptions (Chinatown, Lower Mainland, Deep Cove)
Movement is the way ideas goods and people travel. Transport emails and telephones are good examples of movement
