Region The area of the world that can best be identified as a region is Tibet, part of a larger region called the Trans-Himalaya. It is located on the Qingzang Plateau, and the southern part is the main area of interest. It is located near some of the largest mountains in the world. They include “Mount Everest (8,848 m) – the highest mountain in the world, Namcha Barwa (7,756 m / 25,445 ft) – around which the Brahmaputra carves a fantastic gorge to enter India, and Gurla Mandhata (7,728 m / 25,355 ft) ) )” ( library.thinkquest.org ). Area is in China and is located near Nepal and India Tibet is a little-known area of China, as most hiking activities are attracted to the Nepal area. In fact, according to Jon Krakauer, Nepal not only asks for more money to climb the famous mountain range, but “sixteen of the thirty expeditions of the last spring [1995] they were climbing on the Nepalese side of the mountain.” (Krakauer, In the thin air, page 27). physical, human and cultural. Physical Characteristics The Tibet region has common physical characteristics. The altitude of this area is the highest in the world inhabited by the entire human being, with "an average altitude of 4875 m (16,000 ft)". (The World Encyclopedia 2005). The area is very mountainous, with few fields, as the Brahmaputra valley is the only place where people farm; it is also the only area that has a major city (The World Encyclopedia 2005). Tibet has a large amount of mineral resources that it mines, including “gold, copper and uranium” (The World Encyclopedia 2005). To imagine Tibet, you really have to imagine the mountainous areas, with t...... in the center of the card ......who inhabit Tibet are natives of the country. The reason why one might classify it as a formal region is the fact is that it is classified based on its common characteristics. You could call it a functional region based on what people do, but it would be extremely difficult to do so given its diversity. Perceived region is also possible, but it doesn't seem to make as much sense as classifying it as a formal region. Conclusion In conclusion, Tibet is a unique part of China which is also a unique region. It has unique physical characteristics, an interesting human element, and a diverse culture that remains strong throughout the region. Tibet would be better described as a formal region because the physical, human and cultural characteristics are the same throughout the country. Tibet is certainly a unique place, but above all a unique region.
