Why do geographers perform the regionalization process?

Regionalization is the process of dividing an area into smaller segments or regions. For example- a country is divided into states and provinces.

The geographers regionalize the areas into smaller units so they could study the specific areas, and conduct desired researches, share ideas and topics effectively. This process isn't about creating regions as much as it is about identifying regions that already exist.

There are three types of regions divided:

a- the formal region

b- the vernacular region

c- the functional region

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
