These are my notes I have gotten off of various Wikipedia sources. These are not copied exactly from the website, but rather contain a detailed summary of what I have read in the article. They are on a variety of subjects, depending on what I am currently interested in. The layout for each page will have at least one paragraph, one source, one title, and one external source(outside of Wikipedia). Please do enjoy!!!

Now, time for a table of contents on my various topics I have done so far.

Land Classifications
These are all of the different land classifications in existence today.

Bio-geographic Realms(Eco zones)
The broadest biogeographic division of the Earth's land surface.

The realms delineate large areas of the Earth's surface within which organisms have been evolving in relative isolation over long periods of time, separated from one another by geographic features, such as oceans, broad deserts, or high mountain ranges, that constitute barriers to migration. The ecozones are broken down into ecoreigons; which are then further broken down into biomes. The eight ecozones are the Antarctic, Oceania, Indo-Malaya, Australasia, Neotropic, Afrotropic, Nearctic, and Palearctic.

Below is a brief description of each ecozone.

Antarctic

 * Size: 0.12 million square miles
 * The smallest of all the realms
 * Location: The southern ocean
 * Contains: Mostly the areas surrounding the south pole
 * Under 1% of this is exposed land
 * Life Forms: lichens, mosses, Antarctic Hair Grass, microfungus, and a few wildlife species
 * such as penguins, whales, squid, albatross, seals, and Antarctic petrels.
 * Broken down into 10 ecoreigons.

Oceanic

 * Size:
 * The second smallest of all realms
 * Location: The pacific ocean
 * Contians: Various small islands, such as hawii
 * Life Forms: Various depending on the location.
 * Broken down into __ ecoreigons
