Terrain:

The topography of Australia is very distinctive. Eastern mountainous area, central plain and western plateau. Kosciusko is the highest mountain in the country, with an altitude of 2228 meters. The Great Barrier Reef is located near the northeast coast.

The coast is full of wide beaches and lush vegetation, and the terrain is also different: blue beaches are west of Sydney, tall, elegant and eroded greenhouses are north of Brisbane, and flat fields are west of Adelaide on the south coast.

About 70% of Australia is arid or semi-arid, and most of the central areas are uninhabitable. Australia has 1 1 deserts, accounting for about 20% of the whole continent.

Australia is the flattest and driest continent in the world. Lake Eyre in the middle is the lowest point in Australia, with an elevation of16m. Only 260,000 square kilometers of land can be used for animal husbandry and planting, mainly distributed in the southeast coastal areas.

Distribution of water system:

Murray river and Darling River are the two longest rivers in Australia. These two rivers constitute the Murray-Darling Basin, covering an area of over 6,543.8+0,000 square kilometers, accounting for 654.38+0.4% of the whole mainland area. The longest river in the world is murray river, with a total length of 2589 kilometers. The lake near the center is a large salt lake with an area of over 9000m2, but it has been dry for a long time.

Australia is the driest continent in the world. Drinking water is mainly natural precipitation, relying on the dam for water supply. The government has banned the use of groundwater, which is difficult to recycle once it is exploited. From 2006 to 2009, the impact of El Ni? o phenomenon expanded, resulting in a significant decrease in rainfall. Major cities in Australia are generally short of water. In order to save water during the drought, many laws have been promulgated to restrict water use.
