Questions 1.10
- Resources are materials that can be used by humans.
- Renewable resources are resources that can never run out such as sun light. Non-renewable resources are things that can run out such as coal.
- By over exploitation.
- Soil can give us many things and is essential because with out soil we can't plant crops and foods that we need to live.
- The branch of forestry dealing with the development of rain forests
- 1.7 million square killometers
- Very valuable it is over $2 billion dollars a year
- The AFM authority
- Iron, lead, zinc, uranium and a few more
- By improved prospecting
- Australia has a huge amount of forest that spans of 162.7 million hectares. Australia has 74 000 hectares a year which means we have a lot of plantation ready for the future.
- It is so valuable because Uranium is so dangeroues that some countries want them to destroy cities in wars and such.
- World heritage sites are valuable resources because they attract tourists so we get more money.
- I think it impacts a lot because it releases smoke and chemicals into the landscape and air killing plantation any where near the mining plantation
- Australia is practically surronded by fishing grounds.
- a)There sprend out over the middle of australia theres a clump of uranium reserves in north australia
b) Radium hill
c)Ranger

1.7 Geog Questions
1. Australia has been separated from the rest of the world so the animals and plants have grown separately which means Australia has different plants and animals
2. Because the animals have survived due to the stability of the country.
3. Found only in
4. 82%
5. Great barrier reef, tropical rainforest in Queensland and South Australia
6. In tropical rainforests
7. Marsupials night time only critters so they only go out at night, Bats are marsupials
8. Mammals that lay eggs, Echidna
9. Wallabies are generally smaller than kangaroos
10. The duck billed platypus is one of the unusual animals In Australia. They are found in lakes and are shy animals. They spend 12 a day in the water swimming searching for food or things for building there burrow.
- A fern is any one of a group of about 12,000 species of plants. Unlike mosses, they have xylem and phloem (making them vascular plants). They have stems, leaves, and roots like other vascular plants. Ferns do not have either seeds or flowers (they reproduce via spores)
Foriegn Exchange Task
Hey there Pang Moa just a little heads up for when you come over here to Sydney. First off all the temperature and rain fall will be a little different that Beijing.
Sydney
Beijing
If you look at the graphs above you will see that it’s not as hot as in Beijing. It’s quite a bit cooler so if I were you I would bring some long sleeve shirts and some long pants but Australia has been notorious for being hot all year round so just in case bring some short sleeve shirts and some shorts. And as well as the temperature the rain fall is a lot more different than in Beijing. It rains a lot more here than it does in Beijing so I would say bring a rain coat.
Oh and I forgot to tell you were going to Thredbo as well. Thredbo is a skiing place so I would strongly agree that you should probably bring gear fit more the snow. Thermal underwear, goggles and so on so forth.

Questions 1.6
1. Climate is the amount of oxygen and humidity in the air were as the weather is rain and cloudy and so on.
2. If your higher up in the globe and sky the climate becomes thicker and harder to breath.
3. Summer the heat from the sun makes the air hotter and thinner, which makes it harder to breathe while in winter it’s colder and wetter which means more oxygen wand moister in the air.
4. If there is an ocean it means there’s moister in the air.
5. It’s when you come down from high altitudes or the equator and everything is more condensed and cooler.
6. It means that the temperature stays the same so farmers and animals can adapt to the environment and become used to it. Plus it’s a nice temperature and climate.
Most tourists think Australia is hot but in winter and sometimes summer it’s quite cool
7. In the hot and humid parts, there is mostly woodlands, and in the temperate and subtropical areas there are mostly pasture and cropping. In the desert regions, there is mostly shrub land
8. Darwin: average precipitation=142.4, annual temp=29.35
Hobart: average precipitation=51.3, average temperature=17.05
9. Alice springs because its hotter than Melbourne so has a higher climate.
Perth in June
Questions 1.5
1. Australia has western plateau, the central lowlands and the eastern highlands
2. The Australian Alps stretch from the Brindabella Range north of Canberra to the Baw Baw Range east of Melbourne.
3. The Australia Alps are rounded in shape because it has been subjected to erosion and weathering over millions of years.
4. Uluru is located 335 kilometers south-west of Alice Springs
5. Uluru is a massive rock composed of red arkose, a coarse sandstone, that stands over 340 meters above the surrounding plans.
6. Uluru appears to change colour due to the way in which the sun's rays pass through the atmosphere.
7. A drainage basin is an area of land that is drained by a river and its tributaries.
8. The largest drainage basins in Australia are the Murray– Darling Basin and the Lake Eyre Basin
9. Murry River, Murrumbidgee River, Darling River
10. The Lake Eyre Basin water disappears in the Simpson Desert through evaporation.
11. It only flows a few days in a year.
12. The Franklin River flows from the Cheyne Range to the Gordon River in what is now the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage area. The river has become synonymous with conservation in Australia ever since the ‘Battle to Save the Franklin’ rescued it from damming for hydro-electric power in the 1980s.
13. The ruling was that saved the Franklin River was the ruling that stated that is was a landmark therefore making it a ruling both environmentally and constitutionally.
14. The Murray–Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is preparing the plan which has been carefully thought out and they should maintain control over it. Within this plan they want to limits on the amount of water (both surface water and groundwater) that can be taken from Basin water resources on a sustainable basis, identification of risks to Basin water resources, such as climate change, and strategies to manage those risks and an environmental watering plan to optimise environmental outcomes for the Basin. Therefore, the MDBA should maintain control because they have this plan which is in the best interest of the Basin.
15. a) There area three major physical regions in Australia which include:the Western Plateau, the Central Lowlands and the Eastern Highlands. The Western Plateau is a low, flat area that has been eroded over a period of millions of years. The Central Lowlands are very dry because rainfall is blocked by the Eastern Highlands. The Simpson Desert, which extends for 170 000 square kilometres (km2), is in the Central Lowlands. This desert is famous for its large red sand dunes which run north-to-south. The Eastern Highlands region of Australia is the highest part of Australia, being a series of hills, mountains and plateaux. This area is also known as the Great Dividing Range, which is further subdivided into smaller ranges.
b) An example of each of the major Australian physical regions are: Western Plateau has Lake Carnegie, the Musgrave Ranges and the Gibson Desert, Central Lowlands has the Simpson Desert and Eastern Highlands has Mount Kosciuszko.
c) Mount Woodrotte is the highest point between Shark Bay and Maroochydore and the lowest point is Lake Eyre.
d) the highest range in The great sandy desert is bungle bungle range, the highest range in the great victorian desert is the Musgravel Ranges and the highest range in the Tanami desert is also bungle bungle range.
16. a) iii, iv and v
b) about 1000km
c) Cooper Creek
d) Sturt Stoney Desert
e) North West
