What is (a wide treeless grassy plain)?
Australia is a vast continent and therefore has several different climate regions, meaning there is a wide range of environments.
In the south, where winters can be cold and wet and summers very hot and dry, the natural landscape is mostly bushland and prone to intense bushfires.
Much of the interior is semi-arid or desert so it has very hot days in summer, little rain and cooler evenings, while winters have mild days but very cold nights. In the south, extending for hundreds of thousands of square kilometres across the Great Australian Bight, is the Nullarbor Plain, a vast, treeless plain which is very hot and dry in summer but bitterly cold in winter, especially at night, when the wind whips over the plain.
The desert ranges from sandy desert and shifting dunes to stony "gibber" plain. Many of the deserts are not completely arid, having permanent waterholes and an abundance of low, hardy vegetation as well as birds, mammals and reptiles. There are vast saltpans in the outback of South Austraia and less so in other staes and territories. These saltpans can fill with water once every ten years or so, supporting thousands upon thousands of waterbirds, then dry up to crusty pans extending for hundreds of square kilometres.
Australia has thousands of kilometres of magnificent beaches, perfect for Surfing. It also has calm, sheltered bays where fishing and watersports are popular. There are colourful coral reefs and fascinating geological formations, relics of an ancient volcanic age. There are high, rugged mountain ranges and rolling, grassy hills.
The north is tropical, especially around northern Queensland and the "Top End", that is, the far north of the Northern Territory. There is a range of thick rainforest along the coast, but inland the region is hot, flat grassland which eventually gives way to semi-arid countryside. This northern region has a marked dry and wet season, which is more clearly defined than the standard four seasons. The wet, monsoonal season begins around October and extends through to the end of April. Temperatures in the wet season tend to be higher and humidity is very high.

What are the 8 major landform regions of US?
The list would include:
the Eastern coastal region: This is the Atlantic side of the country. It is an area rich in farmland and coastal inlet features. This is where major Eastern rivers eventually empty into the Atlantic Ocean.
The Appalachian Mountain range: This feature includes the Great Smokey Mountains, the Poconos, the Catskills, and other readily identifiable regional mountains along the Eastern United States. It begins at the border of Main and ends near Birmingham Alabama. Of the two mountain ranges in the US, this one is geologically older.
The Mississippi River: This region includes the states that border the Mississippi river and is an area rich in farmland. Bisecting the country, the Mississippi River was/is a major factor in freight shipping to this day. There is a long history of this river which is most accurately celebrated in the early works of Samuel Clemens, otherwise known as Mark Twain.
The Gulf Coast region: This area includes the lower reaches of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida western coast. It is an area of mild temperatures, and is noted for frequent hurricane activity.
The Great Plains: This region would include the states of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Kansas. There are few variations in the landscape, being predominantly flat, hence the name the Great Plains.
The Southwest Deserts: This feature stretches from Texas through New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. It is an area of limited moisture and includes Death Valley.
The Rocky Mountain Range: Separating the Pacific coast from the Great Plains and the Southwest deserts, this Mountain range is the younger of the two mountain ranges in the US. It's peaks are more rugged and higher than the Appalachians because of it's comparatively shorter age. Theories suggest that tectonic plate activity pushed these mountains up fairly recently.
The Pacific coast: This relatively narrow stretch of fertile ground ends abruptly at the Pacific Ocean. Known for its spectacular scenic beauty, the Pacific coast has it's problems in that it has limited natural water resources. While wondrous agricultural farming is done, the major drawback to the region is the overpopulation and the massive irrigation done to maintain it. This region includes California, Oregon, and Washington state.
There are actually nine regions:The Great Lakes: This area encompasses the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pensylvania, and New York. The area comprises more than 25% of the world's fresh water supply, and is the drainage basin for of the Midwest, not to mention the location of the largest natural salts (not just sodium) deposit in the world, and the location of one of the largest oil/gas deposits in the world (it's just very, very deep and hard to get at).
