climate and Wildlife of Australia two
factors that affect the climate of
Australia are latitudes and the
direction of the mountain ranges
Australia lies entirely in the southern
hemisphere between latitudes 12 degrees
south and 40 degrees south hence the
seasons are opposite to that of the
northern hemisphere in June it is winter
in Australia and they celebrate
Christmas in summers the northern part
of Australia is closer to the equator
and is hotter than the southern part
since the Tropic of Capricorn passes
through the middle of the continent it
comes under the influence of the trade
winds
the Southwest and the southeast parts of
the continent are influenced by the
trade winds in the summer and the
westerlies in the winter due to seasonal
shifting of the pressure belts direction
of mountain ranges also affect the
climate the Eastern Highlands running
parallel to the east coast act as a
barrier to the moisture Laden trade
winds blowing from the southeast
thus East Coast receives plenty of
rainfall while there's hardly any rain
on the leeward side Australia has seven
types of climatic regions and their
respective vegetations
the monsoon tide has alternate wet and
dry seasons and is seen in the northern
part of Australia hot summers creates
low pressure over the land attracting
monsoon winds from the ocean summers are
hot and wet while winters are cold and
dry rainfall is unreliable and varies
from year to year
tropical deciduous forests found here
have trees like bamboo palms eucalyptus
the eucalyptus or gum tree or Jarrah
is found throughout Australia with over
500 varieties it is the leading timber
tree of Australia and also yields
valuable oil the savanna type of climate
is found in a broad belt south of the
region with monsoon type of climate
summers are hot and moist as it is the
season for rains while winters are cool
and distinctly dry in this region the
northern part has Savannah woodlands and
as rain decreases the woodlands give way
to the savanna across the savanna
woodlands consist mainly of eucalyptus
the tropical desert found over a large
part of the continent covers the whole
of the western plateau
it consists of the Victoria Desert the
Gibson desert and the sandy desert
summers are hot and winters are cool and
the region receives less than 25
centimetres of annual rainfall corny
bushes found here like spinifex or
porcupine grass are adapted to withstand
long droughts and exploit brief
rainfalls also varieties of eucalyptus
plants like ecclesia and salt bush grew
here the Mediterranean type of climate
occurs in southern Australia summers are
hot and dry while winters are cold and
wet varieties of eucalyptus are found
everywhere Nally bushes and different
kinds of gum trees are found here
the quarry and Chara trees are found in
the southwestern parts the British type
of climate is found in Tasmania summers
are warm and winters are mild the
westerlies bring moderately high
rainfall which is distributed throughout
the year temperate deciduous forests
found in this region include trees like
pine and beech in wet or West and
eucalyptus trees in the drier East the
temperate grasslands are found in the
Murray Darling Basin
the Australian temperate grasslands are
called downs it has hot summers and cold
winter and receives an average amount of
rainfall with more rain in summer the
lean vegetation consists of short grass
and as rainfall decreases towards the
west the pastures change to Mally scrub
bushes the China type of climate is
found along the southeast coast of
Queensland and New South Wales summers
are hot and wet while winters are
relatively mild and dry
temperate deciduous forests found here
have mainly eucalyptus trees beneath the
spreading eucalyptus trees a thick
growth of tree ferns and unusual plants
such as grass trees are seen as one of
the oldest areas in the world the
Australian continent has been cut off
from the other continental masses for
millions of years and hence it has a
plant and animal life that is quite
unique and unlike any other continent
kangaroo the most typical animal found
in Australia is a marsupial
it means that the mother kangaroo
carries her young ones or Joey's in a
skin pouch under her belly a Joey spends
the first several months inside its
mother's pouch as soon as it leaves the
pouch most female kangaroos give birth
to a new baby a kangaroo has long hind
legs and a strong long tail which helps
to keep its balance it runs very fast in
a series of leaps on its hind legs in
Australia kangaroos are known as Roos
the Roman herds in dry woodlands and
feed on grass
Australia has about 50 varieties of
kangaroos
some are smaller than rabbits while
others stand over 6 feet tall one kind
of kangaroo has long sharp claws and
climbs trees to feed on leaves the Koala
a native bear of Australia is a member
of the marsupial family
these are harmless animals with clawed
feet the young koalas hold tightly to
their mothers bags as they climb through
the trees that form the habitats they
feed on eucalyptus leaves and are found
in the eastern and southern regions with
monsoon and China type of climate
today these natives have become
endangered as they are hunted for their
fur
however laws have been enacted to
protect these inmates the platypus is
one of australia's most unusual animals
it has a bill like that of a duck and
poison Spurs on its hind legs and
although it is a mammal and the young
ones feed on the mother's milk
this duck-billed platypus lays eggs
it swims with its eyes and ears closed
while the flat bill acts as a rudder to
inform whether the worms are to be found
the dingo or the wild dog is the only
carnivorous animal of Australia and it
attacks sheep and cattle it's remarkably
strong jaws enable it to completely tear
away the flesh gripped in its bite
causing the prey to be killed by mere
shock other unique types of animals
found here include the possum and the
edge it 'nor emus are large flightless
birds similar to ostriches they are the
second largest birds in the world
the kookaburra also known as the
Laughing jackass is a noisy Kingfisher
that makes loud laughing and barking
sounds the Lyrebird
found only in Australia has a huge tail
shaped like a liar a musical instrument
it is the largest and most unusual
songbird in the world the bird sings
well and can imitate the voice of other
birds dogs barks car horns and even
