A continent is a land mass. A region is a much smaller area of a land mass. For example, North America which includes the United States of America has many mountain ranges, including the older Appalachian Mountains in the east and the relatively younger Rocky Mountains in the west. I could say I live in a "mountainous region" in Pennsylvania, USA, which only points to a smaller area of the land mass known as the USA within the North American continent.
