Australia Australia is the only nation to occupy an entire continent. In land area (7 682 300 square kilometres) it is the world's sixth largest nation. Australia lies in the Southern Hemisphere between the Pacific and Indian Oceans and has seven external territories including the Australian Antarctic Territory. Its closest neighbours are New Zealand to the east, Papua New Guinea to the north and Indonesia to the northwest. Australia has a tropical monsoon climate in the north, a temperate to Mediterranean climate in the south and a vast, arid interior. Important features of its climate are the highly irregular rainfall, the extreme rate of evaporation of available water, and the large temperature ranges. The continent has a generally flat land surface, with relatively low precipitation and run-off rates. Mountain ranges in the southeast are often snow-covered in winter, but Australia generally experiences mild winters and hot summers. Australia is the second driest continent, with its freshwater and ground water resources having a limited capacity. Drought is a recurring climatic feature over most of the continent. Many Australian soils are derived from ancient material and the rate of soil formation is slow. As a result, soils tend to be shallow and infertile. Significant deposits of minerals are found across the continent. These include oil, coal and gas, iron ore, bauxite, copper, nickel, zinc, gold, mineral sands, manganese, diamonds and uranium.

So we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well.' -

Extractions: introduction Oceanography covers all we know about the sea, its formation, geology, mineralogy, extraction, fisheries, biology and much more. For this web site we have made a conscious selection. If you are in a hurry, read this first. (located on this page) (3 pages) oceans The world's oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface. At places they are as deep as the tallest mountains. Read more about their size, surface distribution, origin, evolution, features, crust, tectonic plate movement and more. (14 pages) ocean properties The salt water has important properties for life in the seas, properties that influence the circulation of the ocean water. Read more about its temperature, seasons, density and productivity. (8 pages) waves Waves are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean's surface. They promote the exchange of gases between the ocean and the atmosphere and bring water movement to coastal habitats. They are responsible for the shape of our coasts and the formation of dunes and beaches. Waves can also destroy. Tsunamis and mega tsunamis are special waves. In this chapter you'll find all you need to know about waves. (14 pages) tides The tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth in the presence of the gravitational pull of moon and sun. Often interpreted as a water 'bulge' travelling around the globe, being balanced by an equal bulge on the other side, recent discoveries have made this simplified concept much more interesting.

Extractions: (p.142) The water cycle is the system by which Earth's fixed amount of water is collected, purified, and distributed from the environment to living things and back to the environment. Plants play a large part in the cycle by absorbing water with their roots and transpiring it as vapor through their leaves. This acitivity will introduce students to the various steps of the water cycle and the various paths water can take. They will also make connections between the water cycle and all living things.
