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.[1] 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.
