The uniqueness of Australian landscapes. Australia, the smallest continent in size, stands out for its exceptional natural beauty. This continent of relics, which are expressed both in the relief and in traces of the former watering of now arid regions, and in very ancient, highly endemic flora and fauna. The uniqueness of landscapes is associated primarily with the inherent peculiarities of the formation of nature in conditions of long-term isolation from other continents. And now Australia is separated from other continents by vast oceanic expanses. Australia, the smallest continent in size, stands out for its exceptional natural beauty.

Oceania Oceania is the world's largest collection of islands, located in the western and central parts of the Pacific Ocean, between the subtropical latitudes of the Northern and temperate Southern hemispheres. When dividing the entire landmass into parts of the world, Oceania is usually united with Australia into a single part of the world, Australia and Oceania, although sometimes it is separated into an independent part of the world
Oceania The total area of the islands is 1.26 million km² (together with Australia 8.52 million km²), the population is about 10.7 million people. (together with Australia 32.6 million people). Geographically, Oceania is divided into Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia; sometimes New Zealand is highlighted

History of the discovery of Australia. FGP of Australia. Lesson objectives: to form an idea of the FGP of Australia, to get acquainted with the history of the discovery and exploration of this continent.
Interesting Facts. Australia is the smallest continent on Earth. The continent is entirely located in the southern hemisphere. Australia is a continent of relics - animals and plants preserved from past eras. There are no active volcanoes here. Australia is the driest of the Earth's continents. It receives 5 times less precipitation than Africa, 8 times less than South America.
About ½ of the continent's area is occupied by deserts. The color of the continent is dominated by reddish-brown tones. Australia was settled and developed by Europeans later than other continents. The entire continent is occupied by one state - the Commonwealth of Australia.
Features of Australian FGP. Determine how the continent is located relative to the equator, the tropics, and the prime meridian. How is the coastline indented? (Bays, peninsulas)
Australia.
Coastline. Great Australian Bight. Gulf of Carpentaria. Arnhem Land Peninsula. Cape York Peninsula. Island of Tasmania. Timor Island. Island of New Guinea. Island of New Caledonia.
Extreme points of the continent. North - Cape York South - Cape South - East Point. (Southeastern) Eastern - Cape Steep Point Western - Cape Byron. Determine the coordinates of the extreme points. Determine the length of the continent from west to east (along 30 S) and from north to south (along 145 E).
What climate zones is Australia in?
Seas and oceans washing the continent. Write it down in your notebook.
Seas and oceans washing Australia. Seas: Tasman, Timor, Coral, Arafura. Oceans: Indian, Pacific. Straits: Torres, Basov. Great Barrier Reef.
History of the discovery of Australia. 1606 Torres discovered the northern tip of the Australian Cape York Peninsula and the strait separating New Guinea from Cape York - Torres. First half of the XYIII century. - The Dutch discovered the northern, western and part of the southern coast of Australia, which until the beginning of the 19th century. called New Holland. 1642-1643 Abel Tasman proved that New Holland is a separate continent.
James Cook and his discoveries. 1769 James Cook went in search of a new continent. As a result of Cook's research, the legend about the existence of a large southern continent was refuted and it was proven that Australia is an independent continent.
Relief of Australia. At the base of the continent lies the Australian Plate. In the east there are heavily destroyed, low mountains - the Great Dividing Range. The highest point in Australia is Mount Kosciuszko, 2228m. To the west of the mountains is the Central Lowland. In the west of the mainland there is the Great Victoria Desert, the Great Sandy Desert.
