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 |
Montane Grasslands
Click "Vegetation"
3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Broad-leafed decidious forest with evergreen elements & mountain vegetation of broad-leafed forests.
Click "Natural Landscapes"
4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Forest-steppe & Intrazonal
Click "Soil Types"
5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Moderate, Humid Moderate, Various Warm, Very Humid
Click "Population Density"
5) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Less than 1, 10 to 25, 25 to 50, 100 to 200
6) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?
| OK |
Less than 1, 10 to 25, 25 to 50, 50 to 100
7) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?
| OK |
Less than 1, 10 to 25, 25 to 50
8) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?
| OK |
They all seem to be about the same. Yes I do think it correctly depicts the populations.
Click "Flood Regions"
9) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.
| OK |
It says Q3 Data not avaliable. I'm not sure?
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.
| OK |
There not all the same, so making an entire region just one biome wouldn't work out.
kbye.
