Intermontane regions are areas located between mountain ranges. They often contain valleys and basins that are surrounded by mountains on multiple sides. These regions are characterized by unique topography and can have distinctive climates and ecosystems.
Yes, regions can overlap when they share boundaries or have areas that are common to both regions. Overlapping regions are common in geospatial analysis, political boundaries, and environmental studies where features can exist in multiple regions simultaneously.
The two basic types of regions are formal regions and functional regions. Formal regions are defined by a common characteristic, such as language or political boundaries. Functional regions are defined by their connections or interactions, such as a city and its surrounding suburbs.
One culture region would be Southwest Asia and North Africa who have a common language and religion which is also Arab
Covered regions have some sort of protection or shelter, such as a roof or canopy, while uncovered regions are open to the elements. Covered regions offer protection from sun, rain, and wind, while uncovered regions are exposed to weather conditions.
Human regions refer to areas defined by cultural characteristics such as language, religion, or ethnicity, while physical regions are defined by natural features like climate, landforms, or vegetation. Human regions are shaped by human activities, while physical regions are determined by the physical environment.
Wyoming has 3 main land regions. They are the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Intermontane Basins.

Intermontane PlateausThe Intermontane Plateaus is one of eight U.S. Physiographic regions of the physical geography of the contiguous United States, located in the Western United States. The physiographic region is composed of intermontane plateaus and mountain ranges.Piedmont PlateausThe surface of the Piedmont Plateau rises in elevation from approximately 200 feet above sea level at its eastern margin to a general base level of 1000 feet above sea level in the west. Individual peaks may rise to over 2000 feet in western parts of the province. Relief varies across the province, a fact which has led to the delineation of two subregions.
The intermontane plateaus of South America primarily include the Altiplano, which is situated between the Andes mountains in Bolivia, Peru, and northern Chile. This high plateau is characterized by its elevated flat terrain, significant mineral resources, and unique ecosystems. The Altiplano is known for its harsh climate, with cold temperatures and limited precipitation, making it one of the highest inhabited regions in the world. Other notable intermontane areas include the Puna region and the Patagonia plateau, each with distinct geographical and cultural features.

The Intermontane Plate was an ancient oceanic tectonic plate that lay on the west coast of North America about 195 million years ago. The Intermontane Plate had a chain of volcanic islands called the Intermontane Islands. The Intermontane Islands had been accumulating as a volcanic chain in the Pacific Ocean since Triassic time, beginning around 245 million years ago. The volcanism records yet another subduction zone. Beneath the far edge of the Intermontane microplate, another plate called the Insular Plate was sinking. This arrangement with two parallel subduction zones is unusual. The modern Philippine Islands are located on the Philippine Mobile Belt, one of the few places on Earth where twin subduction zones exist today. Geologists call the ocean between the Intermontane islands and North America the Slide Mountain Ocean. The name comes from the Slide Mountain Terrane, a region made of rocks from the floor of the ancient ocean.Collision of the Intermontane IslandsOver early Jurassic time, the Intermontane Islands and the Pacific Northwest drew closer together as the continent moved west and the Intermontane Microplate subducted. On the continent, subduction supported a new volcanic arc that again sent intruding granite-type rocks into the ancient continental sediments. Eventually, about 180 million years ago in the middle Jurassic, the last of the microplate subducted, and the Intermontane Islands collided with the Pacific Northwest. The Intermontane Islands were too big to sink beneath the continent. The subduction zone of the Intermontane Plate shut down, ending the volcanic arc. As the Intermontane Belt accreted to the edge of the continent, the subduction zone of the Insular Plate became the active subduction zone along the edge of the continent.

Wyoming has 3 main geographic land regions. They are the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Intermontane Basins. The Great Plains area is characterized by short-grass prairie land, cottonwoods, and shrubs. The Intermontane Basins are the flat areas between Wyoming's mountain ranges. They are characterized by short grasses and lower bushes.
