Final answer:

Regions with a type D climate, such as parts of the United States, Canada, and Russia, characterized by cold or continental conditions with relatively colder winters and less influence from bodies of water, are not common areas for cyclogenesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The region that is not considered to be an area where cyclogenesis frequently occurs is the area with a type D climate. Cyclogenesis, or the formation of cyclones, is more common in tropical regions where there are warm ocean waters. Such regions include the North Atlantic Ocean, where they are known as hurricanes, the North Pacific Ocean, known for typhoons, and the Indian Ocean where they are referred to as cyclones.

However, type D climates, which are characterized by cold or continental features, often exist in the interiors of continents or at higher latitudes and experience colder winters with less influence from oceans. These areas are not conducive to tropical cyclone formation.

Examples of regions with a type D climate include the Great Lakes region of the United States, much of Canada, and a large portion of Russia. These locations usually have cooler to hot summers and very cold winters, clearly differing from the warm oceanic conditions that foster tropical cyclones.
