Which two large landmasses in this region have huge expanses with very low population density? How might climate help explain why so few people live there?

Antarctica and Australia have large areas with little or no population. Antarctica’s ice cap climate makes it difficult to survive the winter cold. Australia’s large expanse of land with an arid climate is too dry to support a large population.

Antarctica and Australia have large areas with dense populations. Antarctica's ice cap climates makes it difficult to survive but these people have adapted. Australia's large expanse of land with an arid climate is not very dry.

Antarctica and Australia have large areas with little or no population. Antarctica’s arid climate makes it difficult to survive the winter cold. Australia’s large expanse of land with an ice cap climate is too dry to support a large population.

Antarctica and Australia have large areas with little or no population. The Ice cap vegetation and desert scrub vegetation do not support life.

What is the climate along the center of Papua New Guinea? How might the physical features and elevation of this area help explain why this part of the country has a different climate than the coastal parts do?

The climate is highlands. This is due to the mountain range that runs through the island. The changes in elevation cause changes in vegetation and temperature as you move up and down the mountains.

The climate is tropical wet. The closeness to the equator brings sunlight to warm the country. The large amounts of rainfall also support this climate type.

The climate is tropical wet. The country is not very elevated which has naturally created a basin. The rainfall from this climate type maintains the ecosystems of the country's wildlife.

The climate is highlands. This is due to the archipelago on Papa New Guinea. This causes changes in elevation that bring different types of vegetation and temperature to the area.

Name three cities in this region with populations of 1 million people or more. How do climate and physical features help explain why these large cities are located where they are?

Perth, Brisbane, Sydney: These cities all have mild climates such as Mediterranean or marine west coast. These cities are located along the coast and at low elevation points.

Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne: These cities are located in desert climates. This combined with low elevation brings water to supply the inhabitants.

Melbourne, Auckland, Brisbane: These cities are all located along the coast which provides water for the cities. The low elevations would also bring rainfall down from higher elevations.

Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne: These cities all have mild climates.

What is the primary type of land use in Australia? How might the population density and the types of vegetation found in this country help explain why Australians use the land this way?

Livestock raising. The low population is supportive of this action because they have the room to allow cattle to graze on the desert scrub vegetation that grows around the continent.

Little or no activity. This is the majority of land use because the low population density and lack of water from the desert scrub vegetation does not support activity across much of the continent.

Commercial Fishing. Because the continent is one large island the entirety of the population can take part in the activity. This means higher fish production and higher revenues for the people.

Livestock Raising. This is capable because although the continent has a high population there is little resources there to stop the growth of the country.
