Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe claims to be longest place name in England. In the Yorkshire and the Humber region, there is a very close relationship between the major topographical areas and the underlying geology.

The central vale is Permo-Triassic. The North York Moors in the north-east of the county are Jurassic in age, while the Yorkshire Wolds and Lincolnshire Wolds to the south east are Cretaceous chalk uplands.

The region is drained by several rivers. In western and central Yorkshire, the many rivers empty their waters into the River Ousewhich reaches the North Sea via the Humber Estuary. Next, draining Wensleydaleis the River Urewhich joins the Swale east of Boroughbridge.

The River Nidd rises on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and flows along Nidderdale before reaching the Vale of York. The River Wharfewhich drains Wharfedalejoins the Ouse upstream of Cawood. The most southerly Yorkshire tributary is the River Donwhich flows northwards to join the main river at Goole.

The River Derwent rises on the North York Moors, flows south then westwards through the Vale of Pickeringthen turns south again to drain the eastern part of the Vale of York.

It empties into the River Ouse at Barmby on the Marsh. In the far north of the county, the River Tees flows eastwards through Teesdale and empties its waters into the North Sea downstream of Middlesbrough.

The smaller River Esk flows from west to east at the northern foot of the North York Moors to reach the sea at Whitby. The western Pennines are served by the River Ribblewhich drains westwards into the Irish Sea close to Lytham St Annes.

The largest freshwater lake in the region is Hornsea Mere in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This region of England generally has cool summers and relatively mild winters, with the upland areas of the North York Moors and the Pennines experiencing the coolest weather and the Vale of York the warmest.

Weather conditions vary from day to day as well as from season to season. The latitude of the area means that it is influenced by predominantly westerly winds with depressions and their associated fronts, bringing with them unsettled and windy weather, particularly in winter. Between depressions, there are often small mobile anticyclones that bring periods of fair weather.

In winter anticyclones bring cold dry weather. In summer the anticyclones tend to bring dry, settled conditions which can lead to drought. For its latitude, this area is mild in winter and cooler in summer due to the influence of the Gulf Stream in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Air temperature varies on a daily and seasonal basis. Cities such as Sheffield, Leeds, and Bradford are generally cooler due to their inland and upland location, while York, Hull, and Wakefield are warmer due to their lowland location.

The temperature is usually lower at night; January is the coldest time of the year and July is usually the warmest month.

Hull and Scarborough have less snow as their weather is moderated by the ocean. There are seven cities in Yorkshire and the Humber: BradfordKingston upon HullLeedsRiponSheffieldWakefield and York.

While cities such as Bradford, Leeds and Sheffield grew during the industrial revolution, older cities in the region, such as Wakefield and York, were established in trade and politics before them.
