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?====

====9) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?====
For the most part the population densities are very similar, and are spread out evenly acrossed the landscape. I think that they are correct. 

===''Click'' "Flood Regions"===

====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.====
