What is the difference between Europe and Australia?

The differences between Europe and Australia are as follows:

1, geographical location

Europe faces the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the Arctic Ocean in the north, the African continent across the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar in the south, and the Asian continent in the east.

Australia now refers to Oceania, the smallest continent, which is located in the vast sea areas north and south of the equator in the southwest and south of the Pacific Ocean. Between Asia and Antarctica, it faces the Indian Ocean in the west, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and far away from North and South America.

2. Climate

Most of Europe has a temperate continental climate. The temperate maritime climate on the west coast is very remarkable. Europe is located in the mid-latitude region, with the sea to the west. The coastline is serrated under the action of seawater, and the ocean is the main reason for controlling climate. Affected by the ocean, Europe has a mild climate, abundant rainfall, high relative humidity and cloudy weather, including the inland areas in the northern Alps. The eastern part of the European continent has little rainfall, low relative humidity and clear sky. This climate phenomenon is widely spread to the vast foothills of Europe and Asia. These influences are distributed along the north-south belt, passing through Norway, Denmark and Germany. The subtropical high system is the main moving season in the southern Alps, so the rainfall in this area changes obviously with the seasons, with rainy winter and dry summer.

Most of Australia lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the south, and most of it belongs to the tropics and subtropics. Except for the continental climate in the inland areas of Australia, the rest areas belong to the maritime climate. The average annual temperature in most areas is between 25.8℃. In the northern hemisphere, from the northernmost surface of the Hawaiian Islands to the equator, the average temperature in the coldest month rises from 16℃ to 25℃. The southern hemisphere of Oceania gradually rises from 50 south latitude to equator and from 6℃ to 25℃. The South Island of New Zealand and the mountainous areas in southeastern Australia can reach below 0℃. From the northernmost part of the Hawaiian Islands to the vicinity of the Mariana Islands, the average temperature in the hottest month in the northern hemisphere rose from 24℃ to over 28℃. The southern hemisphere starts from about 50 degrees south latitude to the northwest of Australia, and rises from 12℃ to 32℃. The extreme maximum temperature in Crockley, Queensland, Australia is 53℃, which is the hottest place in Oceania.

The average annual precipitation in the desert areas of central and western Australia is less than 250 mm, which is the least in Oceania. The annual average precipitation in the northeast of Kauai, Hawaii is as high as 12 000 mm, which is one of the regions with more precipitation in the world. Northern New Guinea, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia are tropical precipitation areas, which are rainy all year round, and the annual average precipitation on windward slopes exceeds 2 000 mm.. In northern Melanesia, northern New Guinea and southern Marshall Islands, the average annual precipitation can reach 3 million millimeters, while the leeward slope is only 1 1,000 millimeters ... Northern Australia and the southeast coast of New Guinea are warm season rainfall areas with an average annual precipitation of 750,000 millimeters, accounting for about 50% of the annual precipitation. Southeast Australia and New Zealand belong to temperate precipitation areas, with relatively uniform precipitation in each month, but slightly more in winter. The annual average precipitation is more than 500 mm, and it is as high as 5 000 mm in some areas. The southwest and southwest coast of Australia belong to the Mediterranean winter precipitation area, and the winter precipitation accounts for about 40-60% of the annual precipitation.

3. Area and population

Europe covers an area of 1.0 1.6 million square kilometers, covering 45 countries and regions. Europe is the sixth largest continent in the world with a population density of 70 people \km? It is the third most populous continent in the world, second only to Asia and Africa. Europe is one of the most livable continents with high living standards, high environmental and human development indexes. About 739 million people, accounting for 10.5% of the world's total population. Europe is one of the continents with the highest level of economic development, science and technology, education and other fields in the world, and most developed countries in the world are located in Europe.

Australia includes 20 countries and regions with a population of about 29 million. It accounts for about 0.5% of the world's population and is the least populated continent except Antarctica. 65% of the population of the whole continent is distributed in the Australian mainland. The population density among island countries varies greatly. Local residents such as Papuans, Australians, Tasmanians, Maori, melanesians, Micronesia and Polynesia account for about 20% of the total population, and European descendants account for more than 70%, in addition to mixed-race, Indians, China and Japanese. The vast majority of residents use English, and the local residents of the three islands use Melanesian, Micronesia and Polynesian respectively. Most residents believe in Christianity, a few believe in Catholicism and most Indians believe in Hinduism.

"Australia" refers to the Commonwealth of Australia (English: Commonwealth of Australia, commonly known as Australia; Abbreviation: AU, AUS) is the official translation of Australia from Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and Macau. It is also the oral address of some residents in Shanghai and Guangdong Province to Australia. Chinese mainland officials usually translate Australia into Australia, not Australia. Some Shanghai residents call Oceania Australia. Australia now refers to Oceania, the smallest continent.
