Geographers often use the concept of "scale" to analyze different parts of the Earth
Using Canada, the United States, or Greenland as the focus of your answer to this question, select at least three examples of particular regions or places located in North America that help illustrate different spatial scales.
Examples include neighborhoods, cities, counties, states, geographical regions, linguistic regions, and cultural regions. Any answer that gives three good examples of different scales is acceptable. These scales could be a matter of political boundaries, economic regions, cultural regions, or any unifying element. Examples of large-scale regions within North America could include the regions illustrated in Figures 1.7, 1.8, or 1.9 . Examples of city regions would include large metro regions such as New York, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Dallas, and so on. Within cities students might name particular neighborhoods, or individual municipalities within a larger metro region.
