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 |
Habitat Type-
Temperate Grasslands,Savannas,and Shrublands
Click "Vegetation"
3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Mountain Vegetation of broad-leafed forest, Forest, Mountain Vegetation of forest steppe and steppe
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 |

Click "Population Density"
5) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
1-10,10-25,25-50,100-200
6) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?
| OK |
1-10,10-25,25-50
7) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?
| OK |
25-50
8) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?
| OK |
Both Regions population varies. Yes
Click "Flood Regions"
9) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.
| OK |
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 |
