AUSTRALIA

Australia is a huge area, and it has seven distinct climate regions:

equatorial, tropical savanna, humid subtropical, Mediterranean,
hot desert, semiarid and oceanic climates.

Equatorial : Equatorial Climate Regions are hot and wet all year,
resulting in a humid climate. Because it rains almost every day, the
annual rainfall is high. Temperatures are fairly consistent all year,
with only a few degrees of variation.

Tropical savanna : Savannas are the tropical version of the

temperate grasslands. Most savannas are caused by climatic patterns
where there is a strong dry season for a large part of the year. Few
trees survive in these regions, but most savannas do have some form
of trees that scatter the landscape.

Humid subtropical : A humid subtropical climate is a zone of

climate characterised by hot and humid summers, and cool to mild winters.
These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except
Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward
from adjacent tropical climates.

Mediterranean : Mediterranean climate is a very pleasant

climate with warm, dry summers and cool, mild winters. It gets its
name from the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the coastal land around
the Mediterranean Sea experiences this climate. This climate's most
important cause is the large bodies of water near the land and
Mediterranean is only found along the coast.

Hot desert : A hot desert climate has extremely hot dry

summers, warm wet winters. To be categorised as a dessert, these
places must get less than 250mm of annual rainfall. This is one of the
crucial topics in geography. Thus, a detailed understanding of this
topic is very crucial.

Semi Arid : This is a dry climate that has fluctuating amounts of

precipitation, which can often result in drought. Occasional drought
can be a very dangerous place for human settlement. The semi-arid
climate supports more trees and shrub bushes and grasses than Arid
and therefore more animals.

Oceanic climate : An oceanic climate, also known as a maritime

climate or marine climate, has cool or mild winters and does not have
dry or hot summers. Most places with this type of climate have
weather that changes frequently.

Project’s learning Objective : To understand and learn

about Australia’s climate and weather changes through
this project.

Data about Australia's climate : Australia is the driest of all

inhabited continents, with considerable rainfall and temperature
variability both across the country and from year to year. Australia
has a wide range of daily temperatures, with summer temperatures
ranging from 5.7°C in New South Wales to 30.8°C in Queensland,
and to 8°C in Tasmania. Australia's seasons are at opposite times to
those in the northern hemisphere. December to February is summer;
March to May is autumn; June to August is winter; and September to
November is spring.

Government policies towards climatic

conditions :
 ● Greenhouse gas emissions reduction
Measures taken by the australian government :
1. Upgrading the electricity grid to support more
renewable power.
2. Reducing price of electric vehicles.
3. Regulating and reporting on greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Encouraging businesses and consumers to reduce
emissions.

Solutions to prevent this :

● Get a home energy audit.
● Use Renewable energy.
● Purchase Solar Panels.
● Buy Green Tags.
● Purchase Carbon offsets.
● Adjust your thermostat.
● Install solar lights.
● Use energy-saving light bulbs.
