11. a)they could warn families about how high the hazard rate is and they could prepare just in case3.

b) Each state has a different rates and could enforce rules for this reason

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
