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 |
Mostly. There are some more specific types than what the books has covered and a few different names than what the book says.
2) What does National Geographic call these regions? What region(s) are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
They call these regions Ecoregions.
Temperate Broadsleafe and mixed forests.
Click "Vegetation"
3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Broad-leafed deciduous forest with evergreen elements and Mountain Vegetation of Broad-leaf forest.
Click "Natural Landscapes"
4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Forest Steppe and Mixed and Broad leaved forest mix.
Click "Soil Types"
5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Warm, Very humic
Moderate, Humic
Moderate, Various
Warm, Various
Click "Population Density"
6) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
Less than one. 10 to 25 25 to 50
7) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?
| OK |
1-10
10-25
25-50
8) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?
| OK |
25-50
50-100
9) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?
| OK |
Well I'm not too familar with what the Everglades pop density should be but the others seem decently accurate. They show a difference between a major city and southern Illinois accuretly.
Click "Flood Regions"
10) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.
| OK |
It has a high population and a high chance of flood. This doesn't seem to be a good idea.
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.
Sorry ... ok
