====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}} Southern Illinois, for one Southern Illinois has a diverse ecosystem consisting of swamps, grassland, deciduous forest broad leaf with evergreen elements. Our region also has four distinct seasons as well, meaning a different variety of biomes with different species that have different growing periods. This region is too broad and contains too many different biomes to have three distinct regions.
