5 Australia’s Size and Shape Facts
Mr Daly Australia’s Size and Shape Facts Monday, 24 April 2017 Write down three interesting facts Australia is the flattest continent, with an average height of only 330 metres above sea level. Australia is the driest inhabited continent with an average annual precipitation of 450 millimetres. Australia has the lowest flow from its rivers compared with other continents. Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world. Australia is the only Island Continent – and the smallest. Australia has six States and Two Territories. Our Geographic Coordinates are S, E.

15 Geographical Origins of Australia
Mr Daly Geographical Origins of Australia Monday, 24 April 2017 Over 200 million years ago Australia was part of a great landmass known as Pangaea. This ‘supercontinent’ split in two, making Laurasia (which later became Europe, Asia and North America) and Gondwanaland, which consisted of Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and South America. If you look at the shape of the present day continents of Africa and South America on a world map, you can see how they may have once fitted together. Scientific studies have shown how the Earth’s crust has followed cycles of joining and breaking up, this is called ‘continental drift’.
