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?
| OK |
The ecosystems look almost exactly like the biomes that we learned about in the last chapter.
2) What does National Geographic call these regions? What region(s) are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
The "National Geographic" calls these regions ecoregions instead of biomes. Southern Illinois is in the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest.
Click "Vegetation"
3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Forest- Steepe and steepe with subtropical elements, Sclerophillous evergreen forest and shrubland, and broad leaf deciduous forest with evergreen elements
Click "Natural Landscapes"
4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Forest steepe, and Intrazonal
Click "Soil Types"
5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Warm very humid, Moderate humid, and Moderate various
Click "Population Density"
6) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
The range is from 1 to 200... The 200 is towards the St. Louis area.
7) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?
| OK |
1-10
8) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?
| OK |
50-100
9) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?
| OK |
I think their are more people than what the map says that there are.
Click "Flood Regions"
| OK |
10) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.
In the areas that are more apt to flood the population sometimes go down, however in other areas it goes up.
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.
| OK |
If you group these areas and assign them a zone then it is possible the zone could be in accurate. For example, I used to live in Edwardsville, Illinois which is 5 min. from St. Louis. The population of St. Louis would cause the population zone to elevate although Edwardsville is a very small town so the "zone" would be inaccurate.
