Highland regions are classified as a climate region due to unique climate characteristics influenced by altitude and other factors like orographic uplifting and the rain shadow effect.

These regions fall under Type H highland climates, which are subcategorized under Type E climates and are found in mountainous terrains.
The presence of permanent ice or snow cover at the summit of high elevations and the different climate zones created by profound elevation differences contribute to the classification of highland regions as a climate region in geography.

Highland regions are considered a climate region due to their unique climatic conditions that differ from the surrounding areas, primarily influenced by altitude, the orographic effect, and geographical location. They can experience various climates at different elevations, adding to their distinctiveness. This complexity is what sets highland climates apart from other climate regions.
