Characteristics of climate distribution in Australia

This is my own geography table about Australia when I took the international trade geography exam. See for yourself. Although the climate is less, everything else is quite detailed.

Australia is the Commonwealth of Australia.

Geographical overview is located between the southern hemisphere, the Indian Ocean and the southwest Pacific Ocean.

The territory consists of mainland Australia, Tasmania and some nearby islands, with a total area of about 7.68 million square kilometers. It is the sixth largest country in the world and has the largest coral reef group in the world on its northeast coast.

Population18.75 million (1998)

Ethnic groups (nationalities) are mostly descendants of British immigrants, and the rest are immigrants from the Netherlands, Greece, France, Spain and some Asian countries, with 6.5438+0.6 million indigenous people (called immigrant countries).

The natural topography of the Australian continent is relatively flat, with an average elevation of less than 300 meters, making it the flattest continent among the major states in the world. The central plain is rich in groundwater; The western part is the plateau, with large areas of desert and semi-desert.

The Tropic of Capricorn runs through central Australia, and two-thirds of the country's territory is controlled by subtropical high and southeast trade winds, and the climate in inland areas is hot and dry.

Rivers lack surface runoff due to less rainfall, but the central plain is rich in groundwater resources.

Australia is rich in mineral resources. There are more than 80 kinds of minerals, of which more than 20 kinds are very rich. The reserves of strategic mineral resources such as coal, iron, bauxite, uranium, gold, nickel, lead, zinc, copper, manganese, tungsten, tin, vanadium, tantalum, titanium and zirconium rank among the top in the world. Australia's forest area accounts for 65,438+04%, mainly eucalyptus.

Economic characteristics Australia is a capitalist country with developed industry and agriculture, which has suffered from colonial rule for a long time in history. Before World War II, it was a colonial economy. During World War II, the speed of economic development accelerated and monopoly capital expanded rapidly. After World War II, industrial and mining enterprises have been further developed, and gradually formed a relatively strong industrial system including mining, metallurgy, machinery, chemistry and food industries, becoming one of the developed capitalist countries in the world today.

In Australia's economic characteristics, foreign capital plays an important role; Australia's exports are mainly primary commodities and manufactured goods, while imports are mainly machinery and equipment and manufactured goods. In addition, the development level and regional distribution of major industrial sectors in Australia are very uneven.

Manufacturing industry is the pillar industry of national economy, and the southeast coastal area is the center of its manufacturing industry, including iron and steel industry, machinery manufacturing industry, chemical industry, textile industry, food industry and so on.
