ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Region (geography)

Regions are like different areas on a big map where people, animals, plants, and other things live. Think of it like a big puzzle, where each piece is a different shape and color, and when you put them together, they make a picture. These pieces are like regions on a map, and each region is different from the others because of its location, climate, landforms, and the living things that call it home. For example, you might have heard of different regions like the desert, the mountains, the coast, and the forest. Each of these regions has its own characteristics, like hot and dry weather in the desert or cold and snowy weather in the mountains. People who live in these regions might have different jobs, eat different foods, and wear different clothes that are best suited for their environment. By learning about regions, you can understand more about the world around you and appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of each place.
