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?===={{OK}}

Mostly. There are some more specific types than what the books has covered and a few different names than what the book says.

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

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



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

It has a high population and a high chance of flood. This doesn't seem to be a good idea.

====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.====
