Today in human geo we talked about regions and the cultural landscape. A region is an area of earth defined by one or more distinctive characteristics.The cultural landscape is a combination of both physical and human uniquely define places and areas. The physical features in Maryland are Ocean City and the mountains. Human Characteristics would be the language, religion, and economics. We talked about how the Maryland region is different from maybe Florida or Texas. Then in class we looked at a map of USA and they were color coded blue and red. They were separated by democratic and republican. We had to break them up into regions but we had to be careful to not put a state on the west coast like California with a state on the east coast like Maine in the same region because they are so different.
