Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo are its northern and southern neighbours respectively, and it is separated from Umbria only by the Apennines.

Due to the influence of the Apennines, the Adriatic and the rivers of the region (the Metauro, the Potenza, the Tronto and the Nera), the Marche is subject to different climates.
