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 |
temperate and broadleaf forest
Click "Vegetation"
3) What vegetation types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
broad-leaf forest with evergreen elements,Mountain Vegitaion of broad-leaf forest,forest steepe with sub tropical elements
Click "Natural Landscapes"
4) What landscape types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
forest steppe
Click "Soil Types"
5) What soil types are in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
warm and humid and some very humid
Click "Population Density"
6) What are the population densities in Southern Illinois?
| OK |
1-10, 10-25, 100-200
7) What are the population densities in the Everglades region?
| OK |
1-10, 10-25,25-50,50-100
8) What are the population densities Near New Orleans?
| OK |
4,000-10,000
9) How do each of these poulation densities compare? Do you think they correctly depict the poulations in those areas?
| OK |
they are pretty close to the same sizes. I thought that they would ahve been more populated in the other areas because it don't seem like that in our area.
Click "Flood Regions"
10) Near New Orleans, compare this map to the population densities and explain what you find.
| OK |
the population map is not a good map to look and and decide on this question this site SUCKS!!!! :)
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 |
The zones are so hard to decide what they are and the maps are not the greatest to get all the information on.
