The environmental characteristics of Australia

Climate characteristics: Australia is mainly located in tropical and subtropical regions, with a predominantly tropical and subtropical climate. The Tropic of Cancer passes through central Australia, so most areas have a hot and dry climate, especially in the central and western regions. The eastern coast receives more precipitation, while the southeastern coastal areas are warm and humid, suitable for living and farming.
Terrain and Landform: Australia has diverse terrain, with rugged rocky terrain, vast deserts, and lush flat topped mountains in the west and central regions. There is a continuous plateau in the east, with narrow beaches and gentle slopes near the sea, gently sloping westward and gradually forming a plain. The coastal areas are filled with wide beaches and lush vegetation. Australia has 11 large deserts, accounting for approximately 20% of the entire continental area, making it the smoothest and driest continent in the world.
