What is the continet of Austraillia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First of all to correct your spelling. of 'What is the continet of Austraillia?'

It should read 'What is the continent of Australia?'

The word 'Australia' comes from Latin and means 'South/Southern'.

Casually Australia is both an continent and a nation.

As continent it is a tectonic plate which has detached from Antarctica and is moving North/North Eastwards, into the Eastern part of Indonesia. The mountains in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are the northern plate boundary. They are being 'pushed up' as a result of the Australian plate moving north into the Indonesian plates.

As a nation it's formal title is 'The Commonwealth of Australia'. The capital city is 'Canberra' ; NEITHER Sydney nor Melbourne. It is a western style constitutional monarchy. King Charles(III) of the UK is the Head of State. There are some 20 million people in the country. The nation is divided into states and territories. viz. Australian Capital Territory(ACT), New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia , and Tasmania. The principle territory is the Northern Territory (North Australia), also Norfolk Island , and Nauru. .

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Earth has undoubtedly been struck by many different asteroids over the past few billion years, though the signs of many have been eroded away by weather and geological changes. Among the more well known places of such collisions are the 110-mile Chicxulub Crater at the end of the Yucatán Peninsula (which ended the dinosaurs), the 4,000-foot wide Meteor Crater in Arizona, and the site of the Tunguska River from the overhead detonation of an asteroid in 1908.

How does size and composition of various planets affect your weight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Weight on different planets is affected by both size and composition. The size of a planet determines its gravitational pull, so your weight on a smaller planet would be less than on a larger one. The composition of a planet also plays a role, as denser planets have a stronger gravitational force, resulting in higher weight. For example, you would weigh less on a smaller, less dense planet like Mars compared to the larger, more dense Earth.

What is the most deadly plant on earth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Deadliest plant on earth...Well that's alot of plants. My best guess would be the castor bean plant it produces castor beans which are used to make castor oil. However the beans have another ingredient, ricin which is very deadly and has been used in assasinations. It may only take one castor bean to kill an adult.

Then again there are alot of plants on earth and there may be some competition with the castor plant. Water Hemlock might give the castor bean some competition.

bacause GOD made them!

User Avatar

Asked by FabianAscenciogp4381

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.
