A region is a portion of the Earth's surface broadly divided by physical characteristics, human impact, and environmental interactions. Geographic regions and sub-regions have imprecisely defined boundaries, except in human geography where jurisdiction areas are defined by law. The areal extent of a geographical region is often expressed in square kilometers or hectares. Regions can be categorized into global continental regions, hydrospheric and atmospheric regions, and discrete climates. The concept of a region is crucial in understanding geographical, cultural, and environmental phenomena. For instance, the [[amazon-rainforest|Amazon Rainforest]] is a region of immense biodiversity, while the [[sahara-desert|Sahara Desert]] is a region of extreme aridity. The study of regions is interdisciplinary, involving [[geography|geography]], [[ecology|ecology]], and [[anthropology|anthropology]].

According to the [[united-nations|United Nations]], the world can be divided into several regions, including the [[africa|Africa]], [[asia|Asia]], and [[europe|Europe]] regions. The [[world-bank|World Bank]] also uses regional classifications to analyze economic trends and development patterns.
