Regions of Australia =Political Regions of Australia=

This is the political map of Australia, which shows the seven different territories within Australia. The capital of each territory isn't provided, but the Australian Capital Territory is provided in New South wales. The population of Australia is estimated to be growing at a rate of 1.7% per year, and at the end of 2008, the estimated population count was about 21.5 million. Australia is the 53rd mot populous country in the world, and its population is concentrated in urban areas. =Physical Regions of Australia= This is the physical map of Australia. As we can see from the map, the land elevation is spread out. There aren't that many extremely mountainous regions, as there aren't that many areas marked in a dark orange color, but we can see some elevation in most of Australia including the Great dividing Range, Ayers Rock, and the Great Sandy Desert areas.

=Climate Regions of Australia= This is the climate map of Australia. As we can see, it gets hotter and more humid as we head north. At the southern end of Australia, there is a mostly temperate area with a small area that has a cool temperature. Just above this small area, we have an area that has hot, dry summers and cold winters. This area makes up the largest part of Australia. As we head up, the temperature gets warmer and warmer as the humidity rises as well. The island of Tasmania located just south of Australia however, has a totally cool temperature compared to the mainland. =Vegetation Regions of Australia= This is Australia's vegetation map. The vegetation is mostly spread out throughout Australia, but if we look carefully we can see that Australia is made up of mostly woodlands and the Acacia. However, overall there is a pretty much equal balance between all of the different types of vegetation.
