Looking at Maps

Using the online map source from National Geographic, found at MapMachine.

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?

OK

yes.

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

OK

ecoregions, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests

Click "Vegetation"

3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?

OK

Broad-leafed deciduous forest with evergreen elements forest-steppe and steppe with tropical elements some mountain vegitation of broadleafed forest

Click "Natural Landscapes"

4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?

OK

forest steppe and intrazonal.

Click "Soil Types"

5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?

OK

small amount of moderate very humid, moderate humid, moderate various,and warm very humid.

Click "Population Density"

5) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?

OK

ANYWHERE FROM 1-10 OR 100-200 IN SOME SMALL PLACES

6) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?

OK

1-10

7) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?

OK

1-10 TO 25-50

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

OK

THEY ARE ALL A LITTLE DIFFERNENT I THINK IT IS ACCURATE

Click "Flood Regions"

9) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.

10) 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.
