Mesoregion (geomorphology)
In some geomorphological taxonomies, a mesoregion is a natural region of intermediate size. Mesoregions may be defined on the basis of morpholithogenic conditions and spatial connection.Recent Landform Evolution: The Carpatho-Balkan-Dinaric Region, edited by Dénes Lóczy, Miloš Stankoviansky, Adam Kotarbp. 325/ref> A mesoregion is used in the regionalization of the area, it is a physical and geographic division unit, it is part of a macroregion, and consists of microregions.

Geomorphological
Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek: , ', "earth"; , ', "form"; and , ', "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near Earth's surface. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do, to understand landform and terrain history and dynamics and to predict changes through a combination of field observations, physical experiments and numerical modeling. Geomorphologists work within disciplines such as physical geography, geology, geodesy, engineering geology, archaeology, climatology, and geotechnical engineering. This broad base of interests contributes to many research styles and interests within the field. Overview Earth's surface is modified by a combination of surface processes that shape landscapes, and geologic processes that cause tectonic uplift and subsidence, and shape the coastal geography. Surface processes ...

Natural Region
A natural region (landscape unit) is a basic geographic unit. Usually, it is a region which is distinguished by its common natural features of geography, geology, and climate. From the ecology, ecological point of view, the naturally occurring flora and fauna of the region are likely to be influenced by its geographical and geological factors, such as soil and water resources, water availability, in a significant manner. Thus most natural regions are homogeneous ecosystems. Human impact can be an important factor in the shaping and destiny of a particular natural region. Main terms The concept "natural region" is a large basic geographical unit, like the vast boreal forest region. The term may also be used generically, like in alpine tundra, or specifically to refer to a particular place. The term is particularly useful where there is no corresponding or coterminous official region. The Fens of eastern England, the Thai highlands, and the Pays de Bray in Normandy, are examples o ...

Regionalization
Regionalisation is the tendency to form decentralised regions. Regionalisation or land classification can be observed in various disciplines: *In agriculture, see Agricultural Land Classification. *In biogeography, see Biogeography#Biogeographic units. *In ecology, see Ecological land classification. *In geography, it has two ways: the process of delineating the Earth, its small areas or other units into regions and a state of such a delineation. *In globalisation discourse, it represents a world that becomes less interconnected, with a stronger regional focus. *In politics, it is the process of dividing a political entity or country into smaller jurisdictions (administrative divisions or subnational units) and transferring power from the central government to the regions; the opposite of unitarisation. See ''Regionalism (politics)''. *In sport, it is when a team has multiple "home" venues in different cities. Examples of regionalized teams include a few teams in the defunct Amer ...
