Illinois has 5 geographic
regions.The north west corner of the state is made up of hilly lands.
The prairie soil has mild acidity and moderate fertitlity. In the north
eastern zone of Illinois there is a flat land area. This area is not
well drained and it is quite swampy. The soil is normally fertile in
this area. The third major region is the Till Planes. They cover up
most of the state. The soil is normally brown prairie style. The
southern Till Planes are interior low plateus. That was the
fourth region of Illinois. The final and fifth region
is the very low south. Its nickname is little Egypt because of
its similar looks to the Nile Delta in Egypt. This region is poorly
drained and has alot of sand and clay. Drainage in Illinois goes south
and west, except near lake Michigan. In Illinois there are many
tributaries for the Mississippi. These tributaries drain more than two
thirds of Illinois. There are not man lakes in Illinois but there are
big bodies of water created by dams. Unlike Bolivia the geography of
Illinois is relatively flat. It depends on what section of Bolivia you
are talking about if you talk of the planes in the east then we have a
similaritybut if we talk about La Paz and mos of the west we do not
have a similarity.
