Hello there! Lots of distinctive characteristics are taken into account when defining certain regions. A region is a place that possesses one certain characteristic that sets it apart from other places. This could be a certain law, like a speed zone, specific to that area. Or it could be the area of places within close proximity to a mountainous area. In the end, a region is what you perceive it to be. A formal (uniform) region is defined by a certain characteristic. An example of a formal region is a state, like New York. Formal regions have definite boundaries. The next type of region is a functional (nodal) region. This type of region is an area surrounded by a focal point and diminishes as it spreads outwards. Think of a radio: when you start driving away from a certain area, your radio starts to get staticky because it is no longer near that area's signal and is in another area where most listeners listen to a different set of stations. The last type of region is a vernacular (perceptual) region. This kind of region exists based on what people believes exists due to their cultural identity. An example of this type of region is "the South" of United States, where sometimes people will debate over which states are part of it and which states aren't based on their cultural identity. I really hope this helps! Feel free to rate my answer.
