Oceania 12

physical geography

Oceania is the driest of the seven continents except Antarctica. There are vast deserts here, and only a few coastal areas are suitable for human habitation. The climate is tropical rain forest, tropical desert, tropical grassland and subtropical Mediterranean.

The population is sparse. Australia is rich in bauxite, iron, uranium, lead, nickel and zinc. Fishery resources are abundant.
