∙ 8y agoGeographically, Australia is a continent, not an island. As a landform, it could be considered an island as it is entirely surrounded by water and not joined onto any other land mass. For this reason, it is often referred to as an island continent.Australia is too big to be formally classified as an island. Another reason why Australia is also considered a continent is because it sits on its own tectonic plate.
Very little of Australia - less than 30% - is actually classed as tropical. The remainder is sub-tropical and temperate.
