In most regions, region is a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region is a medium-scale area of land or water, smaller than the whole areas of interest (which could be, for example, the world, a nation, a river basin, mountain range, and so on), and larger than a specific site. A region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics.

As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

What does regional restrictions mean on a Playstation 2?
Q. Every time I put something in my playstation2 a screen comes up saying regional restrictions? Can anybody help me with this?
Asked by Ashlie - Fri Jan 19 11:57:38 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If video compatibility isn't a problem (i.e., NTSC game on PAL TV), you can try a swap disk, a USB dongle or a mod chip that will allow you to play import games on your PS2.

Japanese regional airline pilot to US based regional pilot?
Q. I'm about to join a regional airline as a pilot here in Japan, but my ultimate goal is to fly for a carrier based in the US(regional or domestic preferred). Would this be possible as long as I log in the hours? And yes, I have US citizenship.
Asked by David B - Fri Oct 19 22:13:25 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. From what I understand there is a real pilot shortage crisis looming, especially in North America. Students are being picked up by major airlines with hardly 200 hours because they want to reserve them when they finally get their ATP. If you have US Citizenship, I see no reason why it would not be possible. You could even go for a small US based regional airline right now, but perhaps the best would be to log in the time in Japan, get as many type ratings you can get and than go strait to a legacy airline such as AA, Delta, Northwest, Continental or United. How did you end up in Japan anyways? I'd be interested to know...

How do Regional Jets get delivered?
Q. when a regional jet such as an embraer or a canadair is made in one country (ex: the US) and then must be transported overseas (ex: to Europe), does it fly there in small short flights using greenland and canada, or does it just take a boat?
Asked by J Ray Tram - Thu Dec 13 21:24:11 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Regional jets and other much smaller aircraft are frequently flown between the US and Europe via the northern route of Canada to Greenland to Iceland to the UK. These are called ferry flights. BTW... Embraer aircraft are made in Brazil, and flown from South America to the USA, and of course, Canadair regional jets are built in Canada.
