It runs mostly in a north-south direction and spans a wide range of climates.

Answer 2

Features are either natural, or they are man-made. The Great Barrier Reef is natural for the simple reason that no part of it is man-made. The Great Barrier Reef was not formed by man: it was formed by sea animals called polyps, which are like sea anemones, building up colonies that make up the reefs. Basically, as these polyps die, more polyps build on top of their skeletons, making up the Reef as we know it over a long period of time. Man cannot duplicate this process.
