Answer the following questions about major ecosystems, soils, climates, and populations.

There are three zoom modes to use to answer these questions; world-view, US-view, and Southern Illinois view.  You may copy this page's source to start your work if you like.

===''Click'' "Major Habitat types"===
====1) Do these major ecosystems of the world match what you have already learned so far about biomes?====



====2) What does ''National Geographic'' call these regions? What region(s) are in Southern Illinois?====



===''Click'' "Vegetation"===
====3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?====



===''Click'' "Natural Landscapes"===
====4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?====



===''Click'' "Soil Types"===
====5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?====



===''Click'' "Population Density"===
====6) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?====



====7) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?====



====8) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?====



====9) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?====



===''Click'' "Flood Regions"===
====10) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.====



====11) Overview: Pick a region-Southern Illinois, New Orleans, or Everglades and discuss the possible problems of assigning a single zone type to each of these smaller regions by comparing each of the map types above.====

-The population between Illinois and the Everglades are about the same, but New Orleans has a smaller population compared to Illinois and the Everglades. The population of New Orleans would be inaccurate though because of Hurrican Katrina. A new census will have to be done.

 ====10) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.====
-The population is high for having such a high flood rate, but there are not very many people there right now becuase the flood map shows that it is very flooded there right now.
