There is the equatorial which covers the tip of Cape York. Then there is the tropical which cover the Northern Australia and the south of the Gulf of Carpentaria and Kimberly region. Then there is the sub-tropical which covers the coastal and inland fringe from the Queensland region to the Perth region all the way to Western Australia.
Due to these diverse tropical zones, Australia has the wet and dry seasons as well. The wet seasons run for around six months between November and March. These wet seasons are often hotter than the dry season (temperatures between 30 to 50 degrees Celsius) due to the high humidity during the wet season caused by large amounts of water in the air. This season is characterized by a lot of rain and frequent flooding.
On the other hand, the dry season is also found in Australia and lasts about six months as well, normally from April to October. This time comes with generally lower temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius.
The other interesting fact about Australia is the fact that some regions enjoy relative normal weather patterns, yet some regions have extreme weather experiences. The tropics are some of the regions that are significantly affected by…
Climate Change in Australia's Alpine Region The environments of entire Australia comprise of approximately 0.3% of total global land mass. The alpine region of Australia is found along the mountain ranges of southeastern, central plateau and Victoria mountain ranges. The altitudes in the alpine area vary significantly ranging from Tasmania's 1,300 m to 1,850m in South Wales (Diaz, Beniston & Bradley, 2007). Changes in climatic conditions have diverse potential impacts on
Scientific researchers analyze the climatic conditions of our planet and how they shift through diverse means, relying on historic, instrumental, environmental and satellite reports. The latter has been utilized only in the past two decades or so, while instrumental reports’ earliest employment can be traced back to nineteenth-century scientific scholars. The relatively short lifespan of instrumental- and satellite- based information in comparison to our planet’s life poses a challenge, though ("How
Environmental Hazards as a Consequence of Crude Oil/Natural Gas Exploration, Transportation, Refining and Storage Ever since crude oil was first successfully drilled in the U.S. In Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859, the demand for oil has only been increasing over the years in countries all over the world. (Camden, 1883) Crude oil, from which various petroleum products are obtained, is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon component found trapped in rocks below the
The Gold Coast area has a reputation as a flood prone area, even without considering the effects of global climate change. The Gold Coast area comprises seven major catchment areas including the Tallebudgera, Currumbin, Nerang River, Coomera River, Pimpama River, South Moreton Bay, Sandy Creek and Broadwater area (Mirfenderesk, 2009). The Nerang River catchment is adjacent to the Tallebudgers catchment to the South. It is bordered by the Broadwater and
Vertical Farming-Opportunities and Challenges for Singapore There has been much talk surrounding the environmental issues of food production, with many now suggesting the city is the ideal place for growing food to cater for rapidly expanding urban populations. In Singapore, small-scale examples of this are emerging, such as Changi General Hospital and the Tanjong Pagar apartment complex. This dissertation will examine the Vertical Farming movement, and look at the opportunities and
Selling Australian Wine to Overseas Market Integrated Marketing and Communication Plan Australian Wine is on the rise in relation to quality and production because of free market status in the country.
