A diverse worldThe world is full of different
things: cultures, landforms, cities, landscapes, climates, traditions etc
Geographers use different tools to categorize these different aspects

One way: time zonesThe world is divided into 24 time
zones.Each one is worth one hour
change.The international dateline is
where the day of the week changes.

The World Time Zones
![Page 5: Time Zones and Regions What are they?. A diverse world The world is full of different things: cultures, landforms, cities, landscapes, climates, traditions](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56649f295503460f94c42064/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Canada Time Zones Canada uses six primary time
zones. From east to west they are Newfoundland Time Zone, Atlantic Time Zone, Eastern Time, Central Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone, and the Pacific Time Zone.
Each one is worth one hour except for Newfoundland which is worth 30 minutes

Another way is though regionsRegions are areas or segments of
the earth’s surface defined by a particular characteristic or set of characteristics.
For example, a region can be defined based on climate or physical background (such as deserts)

Let’s look at small scale regions first…Suppose the buildings in different
parts of a town were built at different periods of history. The buildings in each part of town may have been built in different styles and with different building materials. If you put all of those styles on a map there would be different patterns emerging.
-micro regions or mini regions are we call the town’s neighbourhood

Describing RegionsSmall scale vs large scaleHomogenous Region vs
Functional RegionHomogenous Region: a common
characteristic or set of characteristics throughout its whole area (eg Africa: Climate: hot dry in dessert)
Functional Region: an area defined by a specific function or activity (eg an area where newspapers get delivered)
