Document Summary
The study of regional geography: canada is a huge and diverse country, so its geography is best understood from a regional perspective. The geographic study of a particular part of the world is called regional geography. Canada is divided up into 6 regions, each with its own location, physical geography and history. The 6 geographic regions of canada are british. Columbia, territorial north (consists of 3 territories), western canada (alberta/saskatchewan/manitoba), ontario, quebec and atlantic canada (new. Brunswick, nova scotia, pei, newfoundland/labrador): a strong sense of regional identity exists, and these identities were shaped over time as people faced challenges imposed by their economic, physical and social environments. For many, place is the most powerful determinant of their life chances, experiences and opportunities. Regionalism is the division of a large area (country) into different parts. Some countries are more prone to regionalism than others.
