| Found in | Glossary of geology, 1997 (physiographic province (A region of which all parts are similar in geologic structure and climate and which has consequently had a unified geomorphic history; a region whose pattern of relief features or landforms differs significantly from that of adjacent regions. Examples: the Valley and Ridge, Blue Ridge, and Piedmont provinces in eastern U.S., and the Basin and Range, Rocky Mountains, and Great Plains provinces in western U.S. Cf: geologic province; geographic province; morphologic region; structural province) structural province (A region whose geologic structure differs significantly from that of adjacent regions. It is generally coextensive with a physiographic province) geologic province (An extensive region characterized throughout by similar geologic history or by similar structural, petrographic, or physiographic features. Cf: physiographic province) geographic province (An extensive region all parts of which are characterized by similar geographic features. Cf: physiographic province) morphologic region (A region delimited according to its distinctive landforms, rock structure, and evolutionary history.
