地理环境

地貌

伊利诺州地势平坦,平均海拔182米,自北向南倾斜。西北部较高,有起伏平缓的丘陵。全境最高点海拔378米,为西北角有查尔斯丘。北部和中部的黑土非常肥沃,为世界上最佳耕地之一。地表有厚层冰川沉积,叫做冰碛层。第四纪内,北美洲北部及中部出现大陆冰川。冰川向南推进时,把全州大部分地面蚀平,好似平锅的锅底。冰川融化后消失,把冰内夹带的泥砂石块堆积在地面上,成为冰碛物,似一张圆饼摊在锅底的平面上。冰川避开了州西北角及州境南端两个丘陵区,这一带未遭受大陆冰川的破坏。南部马里恩附近小丘区是大陆冰川南进的限界。南端河岸港开罗以南未受冰川的刨蚀。除上述西北角及南端大丘陵区外,都遭受大陆冰川覆蓋数千年到数万年之久。

气候

伊利诺州属温带气候,冬季寒冷多雪,夏炎热。冬季平均气温,北部为-6℃,南部为3℃;夏季平均气温分别为21和25℃。年平均降水,北部为800~1200毫米,南部为1200~1600毫米。南部生长期为210天,最北部仅有160天。

自然资源

伊利诺州主要矿产有煤、石油、铅、锌、石灰石和玻璃砂。煤产量居全国第四位,石油居第八位。煤炭主要分布于州的中部和南部,石油分布于南部。其他矿产资源有铅、锌、石灰石和玻璃砂等。

人口民族

伊利诺州人口约1291万,位居全美第5,白人、黑人、拉美裔及亚太裔分别占总人口的71.4%、 14.6%、14.9%和4.3%,约有华侨华人10余万人。

经济概况

农业经济

该州是全国主要的农业州之一。全州80%的土地为农业用地。每个农户平均耕种140公顷(约2100亩)农田。大豆产量居全国首位;玉米产量有时占第一位,有时居第二位;猪肉和牛肉产量亦均名列前茅。

工业经济

伊利诺伊工业主要集中在芝加哥。由于靠近铁矿产地,交通方便,钢铁工业发展迅速,芝加哥已取代钢都匹兹堡成为全国最大的钢铁工业中心。农业机械、建筑机械和金属制品产量居各州之冠;电机产量名列第三;汽车工业也很重要,有55万职工从事机动车辆的制造和装配。食品工业仅次于加利福尼亚州。印刷业和出版业仅次于纽约州,居全国第二位。
