Australia vs. New Zealand
Australia Is on its own plate. Earthquakes do not
happen very often, and volcanoes do not happen.
It is very old. It was once part of
Gondwana (Southern part of Pangea).
Has old, eroded mountains
New Zealand Younger Less Stable Has many earthquakes
and volcanoes. Lies on the
convergence of the Australian and Pacific Plates.
Entire ranges are larger than the highest point in Australia.

Formation of Deserts?
Look at the map of Australia. Were deserts formed by the Rainshadow effect here?
Their creation: Moist air rises at the equator, as it moves it
falls turns into rainfall, as it continues warming as it sinks it encourages more evaporation than rain creating deserts.

Animals of Australia
There are many indigenous animals to Australia.
This is due to its isolation from the rest of the world.
These animals are not native to anywhere else in the world.
Australia has the highest number of marsupials than any other place.
Here are some cool animals!!!
