Looking at Maps -- Due Sunday March 5, 5pm

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?==== Yes

====2) What does National Geographic call these regions? What region(s) are in Southern Illinois?==== Ecoregions- Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests

Click "Vegetation"

====3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?==== To hard to tell, colors do not match. Broad-leaf deciduous forest with evergreen elements maybe, Forest steppe and steppe with subtropical elements, who knows about the yellow color.

Click "Natural Landscapes"

====4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?==== Forest-steppe, mixed and broadleaf, and intrazonal.

Click "Soil Types"

====5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?==== warm very humid, moderate various, moderate humid, and warm various.

Click "Population Density"

====6) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?==== 1-10, 10-25,25-50, and 50-100

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.
