The Sturt Plain is a vast arid region located in South Australia, known for its flat and featureless landscape. It is characterized by low vegetation cover, limited rainfall, and extensive salt flats. The area is sparsely populated and is mainly used for livestock grazing.
Charles Sturt and other early Australian explorers believed an inland sea existed because of the unusual behaviour of the rivers. Most rivers flow towards the coastline. However, the rivers of New South Wales on the western side of the Great Dividing Range all flowed away from the coast. The logical deduction was that they flowed to an inland sea. It was Charles Sturt who discovered that so many of the rivers flowed to tributaries of the Murray River, which then took almost a 90 degree turn south to the Southern Ocean. Although Sturt's journey down the Murray proved that the river system flowed to the southern coast, Sturt still remained convinced for most of his life that Australia's interior should hold an inland sea. After all, the other major continents had inland seas. In essence, Australia does - Lake Eyre - but not a permanent inland sea like the Great lakes of North America.
A large piece of flat land is called a plain. A mountain desert refers to a desert area with significant mountainous terrain.
The West Siberian Plain is the largest plain in Europe and the world, covering an area of over 2.7 million square kilometers. It is located in Russia and is characterized by its flat and marshy terrain.
The elevation of a coastal plain can vary, but typically it is at or near sea level. The coastal plain is a flat, low-lying area that extends inland from the coastline.
The largest plain in the world is the Eurasian Steppe, which stretches across Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its expansive grasslands and relatively flat terrain, covering an area of about 4.9 million square kilometers.
Sturt Plain is named after explorer Charles Sturt.
Sturt Stony Desert is in Australia. It is a large gibber plain, located in the northeast of the state of South Australia, and covering around 30,000 square kilometres.
When Charles Sturt travelled along the Murray, he passed through much thick bushland, with tall river redgums and swamp gums, wattles and eucalypts. The land was flat and featureless, apart from the dense bushland.When Sturt made his journey into Australia's interior, he passed through dry, arid, stony desert, or gibber plain (hence the name: Sturt Stony Desert).
Sturt crossed what is now known as Sturt's Stony Desert in 1845.
