Canberra was built as a result of an architectural competition. Geographical position: Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere and it's the smallest continent in the world. It's the only continent except for Antarctica that lies all south of the equator. It is surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean; the Gulf of Carpentaria, the Coral Sea, the Tasman Sea, the Australian Bight, the Timor Sea and Shark Bay. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the modern world. It is located off the northeast coast of Australia. It's the largest coral reef on earth, extending for 2000 kilometres along the coast of Queensland. It consists of more than 600 islands. Most of the islands are uninhabited, but some have been developed as tourists resorts. Scientists estimate that the Reef is more than 30 millions years old and it had it beginning in a tiny animal known as polyp
Topic Australia Introduction Many people know Australia as the land down under because it is the only continent except for Antarctica that is all on the southern hemisphere. Its name means ,,Southland". The official name of the country is the Commonwealth of Australia. It's capital is Canberra. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world but the smallest continent. Australia has 6 states and 2 territories (New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Western Australia , South Australia, The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory). The Australian people are culturally the same as the Anglo Americans. There also live aborigines. Aborigines are the ancestors of the people. Like the US and Canada, Australia was an English speaking colony of Great Britain. Today Australia is a modern developed country with a diversified economy. Australia is an island continent of 7.7 million square kilometres, which makes it a little smaller than the USA. Located in
brought many viruses and diseases that were deadly to the Aborigines. Exploring Australia The first people who knew about Australia were the Chinese sailors (about 2500 years ago).Even the Indonesian anglers visited Australia hundreds of years before the first Europeans. The first European to see Australia was a Dutch captain Willem Jansz. He explored the Gulf of Carpentaria in 1606. Another European captain, Hartog, visited the west coast at Shark Bay also in 1606.Tasmania was discovered in 1642 by Tasman, who also named the Tasman Sea. However, none of them was happy over the discovery, because the land was very arid and barren. Such grasp remained unchanged until James Cook reached Cape Edward in 1779, where he turned north and landed at Botany Bay. That territory is nowadays called New South Wales. When he got back to home, he reported that the land had luxuriant vegetation and was very suitable for settlers
native to Australia. It is often said to be the most dangerous to humans. This crocodile is an opportunistic predator capable of taking animals up to the size of a water buffalo, either in the water or on dry land. The larger the animal grows, the greater the variety of items that it includes in the diet. Saltwater crocodiles can take monkeys, wild boar, dingoes, domestic livestock, water buffalo, sharks and sometimes humans. It typically loiters in the water or basks in the sun through much of the day, usually preferring to hunt at night. It is, however, capable of moving with astonishing speed when required. Adult male saltwater crocodiles are typically 5 metres long, weigh around 680 kg. Females are much smaller than males, with typical female body lengths in the range of 2.53 metres. Many plant and animal species became extinct soon after human settlement, including the Australian
Introduction... I read a book abput the Galapagos islands writen by Paul D. Steward. I have devided my presentation in 3 paragraphs: Firstly i will tal about the origins of the islands and the history, secondly about life on the land and in the sea, finaly about conserving the Galapagos. The Galapagos Islands are situated on junctions between several shifting tectonic plates on the equator and about 1000 km off the Pacific coast of Ecuador. They are the product of one of the most volcanically active regions on our planet, a hot spot is
Tundra animals Reindeer Reindeer were first domesticated in Norway and northern Asia. When it was seen how valuable they were, they were brought to Alaska in 1887 and later to parts of Canada. These North American reindeer became known as caribou. Although they are called by different names, they are both considered to be a single species. Unlike deer, both the male and female have antlers. The antlers of the male are long, branched and massive, and they are a little flattened at the ends. The antlers of the female are much shorter, simpler and more slender and irregular. Their large, spreading hooves support the animal in snow in the winter and marshy tundra in the summer. Reindeer are also great swimmers and use their feet as paddles. They can also lower their metabolic rate and go into a semi-hibernation when conditions get very harsh. When it looks like there is nothing to eat on the winter tundra, reindeer will scrape the snow away wit
Natural Zones and Flora. There are five distinguishable natural zones in Australia. In the very east there are wet forests (1.) that occupy the space between the Great Dividing Range and the eastern coast. Westward from the Great Dividing Range the wet forests give place to beautiful grasslands with some trees . These grasslands are called the savannas (2.). Farther west the trees disappear and the bushlands (3.) begin. The real desert (4.) occupies the centre of the Western Plateau. In the very southwest there are thin forests of evergreen trees (5.). Most of Australian trees are kinds of eucalyptus trees (or gum trees to Australians) and acacia ( wattle to Australians). Eucalyptus trees are found everywhere in Australia. There are many kinds of them and they greatly differ in size. One kind, the great mountain ash, can grow to 120 metres and it grows in the wet forests in the eastern part of the continent.These strong trees do not die when there are forest fires. Some other kinds a
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual(iga aastane) plant in the family Asteraceae, with a large flower head (inflorescence(õiekobar, õisik, õitseaeg, õidumine)). The stem(tüvi) of the flower can grow up to 3 metres tall, with the flower head reaching 30 cm in diameter. The term "sunflower" is also used to refer(nimetama, viitama, üle andma) to all plants of the genus(perekond, sugu) Helianthus, many of which are perennial(alaline, aastaringne) plants. What is usually called the flower is actually a head (formally(ametlikult) composite(liit-, komposiit- ; korvõieline, komposiit) flower) of numerous flowers (florets) crowded(täistuubitud, tunglev, rahvarohke) together. The outer flowers are the ray florets(pähik (õisiku osa) and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colors, and are sterile(steriilne, viljatu). The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets. Sunflower head displaying florets in spirals of 34 and 55 around the outside The florets wi
