Presentation transcript:

Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica

Climate and vegetation Climate and vegetation vary greatly Rainfall Regions include: Tropical in the northeast Deserts in the interior Midlatitude temperate areas of grasslands, scrub, and mixed forests along the eastern, southern, and southwestern coast

Climate and vegetation In their summer the western plateau gets dried out during the day but at night the temperatures drop Around the desert area where the annual rainfall is 10-20 inches, there is vegetation that includes eucalyptus, acacia trees, and shrubs Irrigated crops grow here

Climate and vegetation The coastal regions vary in their rainfall The northeast coast averages 80 inches, Santa Maria averages 14 inches The coastal areas support most of Australia’s agriculture

Climate and vegetation Location of islands Tropical wet climate Instead of our normal seasons they have wet and dry seasons Rainforests Typhoons

Climate and vegetation New Zealand summer is between 65-85 and winter is 35-55 Similar latitude to US Has mountains with snow year round Southern alps average 315 inches of rain
