kilometers, it makes up a large number of islands. In terms of relief, Australia occupies one of the
oldest and least elevated continental masses on the planet.

A huge part of the country is desert or semi-arid. Australia is the driest and flattest inhabited
country, and the one with the least fertile soils. Only in the southeast and southwest is there a
temperate climate. The northern part of the country, with a tropical climate, has vegetation
consisting of rain forests, forests, grasslands, mangroves, and deserts. The climate is strongly
influenced by seasonal tropical low pressure systems that produce cyclones in the northern
region, and by ocean currents, including the oceanic-atmospheric phenomenon of El Niño, which is
correlated with periodic droughts.

heaths to tropical rainforests.
