Australia

Only some Australian plants are becoming extinct, and these form only a small proportion of native plants. The plants which are in danger of extinction are so mainly because of the introduction of exotic species which push out native species. Also, introduced fauna such as rabbits and stock animals (e.g. Sheep, cattle) have a tendency to eat native grasses and shrubs fit down to the roots, which prevents any regrowth.

There are several factors which contribute to the appearance of different colour changes for Uluru (Ayers Rock) at different times of day.

The different angles of morning sun and late afternoon sun reflect differently off the surface of the Rock, and interact with the different soil colours surrounding the Rock, to also alter its appearance from the brilliant orange-red of early morning to the deeper, dusky-red of later afternoon. On an overcast day, the Rock's colour is also more subdued, turning to an orange-brown colour. It is largely a matter of the atmospheric conditions, and how the moisture levels in the air and any clouds reflect the surrounding desert colours back onto Uluru.

Australia is approximately 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) wide from east to west.

No. All species of wombats are herbivores.

Victoria is the Australian state at 43 degrees south and 148 degrees east.

None of them. That point is off the coast of Tasmania.

Since Australia isn't a planet and is on the earth, it's roughly a distance of 0 miles/0 kilometers from the earth to Australia. However, depending on which country/continent you're on that isn't Australia, the distance will be greater and will vary.

The states of Australia that have land area along the latitude line of 30 degrees south are Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia. These states span across multiple climate zones due to their vast north-south extent.

Yom Kippur generally ends at nightfall, which is around 7:30-8:00 pm in Melbourne, Australia. It is customary to wait until three stars are visible in the sky before breaking the fast.

Yes, the 40 degree N line of latitude passes through both Arkansas and Missouri. In Arkansas, it cuts through the northern part of the state, while in Missouri, it passes through the southern portion.

This is not extremely clear. Uluru and the nearby Kata Tjuta rocks are ends of a sandstone bed that was pushed up through softer overlying soils. Beginning about 30,000 years ago, the desert sand dunes around these harder rocks began to be blown away, exposing and oxidizing the sandstone (the material is normally gray). This uncovering is an extremely slow process, as is the erosion of the sandstone itself. Depending upon climate conditions, Uluru could become less prominent as eroded material builds up in the land around the periphery.

Water erosion has created channels and caves that become more pronounced over time, creating the shadowed edges. The parallel ridges deepen because they represent softer layers of the rock that erode more quickly.

Uluru has been in Australia for millions of years, as it is a natural sandstone rock formation that has existed long before humans. Its formation began over 500 million years ago and has been a significant landmark for indigenous Australians for thousands of years.

That point is in southern Kenya, about 45 miles west of Mombasa.

Asia is the largest continent in terms of land area. It covers around 30% of the Earth's land area and is home to over half of the world's population.

Australia is the only continent without any active volcanoes. However, there is one active volcano on Australian territory, that being Big Ben on McDonald Island in the sub-Antarctic territory of Heard & McDonald Island.

The dry flat interior of Australia is known as the Outback. It is characterized by arid landscapes, low vegetation, and sparse population. The Outback covers a vast area of central Australia and is home to unique wildlife such as kangaroos and emus.

Sydney has a temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters with a lot of rain spread throughout the year (however the city is still prone to droughts). Summer temperatures average around 25-26 degrees Celsius, although heat from the west may send temperatures up to 36 degrees. In fact, between November and February, temperature extremes on record have been as high as 45.3 degrees Celsius. Summers tend to be more humid than other seasons of the year and thunderstorms are common at that time. June is the wettest month overall, but the months from January to June are all high rainfall months. Winters are cool with temperatures around 15-18 degrees Celsius. Official minimum temperatures for winter do not go below 2 degrees Celsius. Spring is drier than any time of the year. Around 1,200 of rain, on average, is spread through the year - typical of humid temperate climate.

The story is somewhat different in Sydney's west, which is drier than Sydney city. The climate is still warm temperate there, but a dry one for its standards. Summers are hot, usually around 27-33 degrees Celsius (mainly 28), with a number of day being over 35, hitting almost 40. Humidity is less throughout the year, because of coastal distance. Winters are no warmer than Sydney's, although the nights may reach and/or dip below 0 with frost appearance. July and August are the driest months, while February and March are the wettest months, which is not greatly different from in Sydney where it's March and April, respectively. The average annual rainfall in the West is around 600-800mm, which is far below Sydney's (the coast) average rainfall of 1,200mm.

57 degrees east latitude and 21 degrees south longitude corresponds to a location in the southern hemisphere, on the Tropic of Capricorn in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar.

Australia Zoo is run by the Irwin family, who are well-known for their work in wildlife conservation and education. Terri Irwin took over the management of the zoo after the passing of her husband, Steve Irwin, in 2006. Today, Terri, along with her children Bindi and Robert, continue to operate and expand the zoo's efforts in animal conservation and protection.

The hurricane season in Australia typically occurs from November to April, with peak activity usually between December and February. It is important for residents to stay informed and be prepared during this time.

Arizona does not observe daylight saving time, so during the part of the year when Perth is on Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), Arizona is typically 15 hours behind Perth. However, when Perth is on Australian Western Daylight Time (AWDT), the time difference is usually 13 hours.

Although Perth is drier overall than Sydney, in Octoberthe two cities have very similar climates. For more details, see the related weblink below, which lists temperatures, rainfall, humidity and average hours of sunshine for the mainland Australian capital cities throughout the year..
