Detailed explanation-1: -A formal region could be any country in the world, like the United States, or the linguistic region of a state. Specific examples that you may see on the AP® Human Geography exam could be: the French-speaking region of Canada, the dairying region of North America, or political boundaries demarcating nations and states.
Detailed explanation-2: -Formal regions can be defined by political boundaries, such as the border between US and Canada or by physical boundaries, such as a river or mountain range.
