Physical map of Oceania

Oceania consists of thousands of islands . Most of them are very small. The biggest islands in Oceania are Australia.The North and South Islands of New Zealand and New Guinea.There are thre groups of smal islands Microsenisa and Polynesia. Many of the islands, like Fiji, Samoa and Hawaii,have active volcanoes.

Great Dividing Range

The Great Dividing Range, or

the Eastern Highlands, is Australia's most substantial mountain range and the third longest land-based range in the world. The range stretches more than 3,500 kilometres (2,175 mi) from Dauan Island off the northeastern tip of Queensland, running the entire length of the eastern coastline through New South Wales, then into Victoria and turning west, before finally fading into the central plain at the Grampians in western Victoria. The width of the range varies from about 160 km (100 mi) to over 300 km (190 mi)

Murray River

The Murray River (River

Murray in South Australia) is Australia's longest river. At 2,375 kilometres (1,476 mi) in length, the Murray rises in the Australian Alps, draining the western side of Australia's highest mountains and, for most of its length, meanders across Australia's inland plains, forming the border between the states of New South Wales and Victoria as it flows to the northwest, before turning south for its final 500 kilometres (310 mi) or so into South Australia, reaching the ocean at Lake Alexandrina.

Great Victoria Desert

The Great Victoria Desert

ecoregion is a bleak, barren and sparsely populated southern Australia. It is located between the states of South Australia and Western Australia and has a large number of small sand dunes, grasslands and salt lakes. It extends over 700 km wide (east-west) and an area of 424,400 km . Bordered on the west by the shrub ecoregion of Western Australia, to the northeast with the Little Sandy Desert, the North with the Gibson Desert and Central Plains desert shrubs, east of Sturt Stony Desert and Desert Tirari and South to the Nullarbor Plain, which separates it from the southern Ocean.

Biome Oceania

Oceania has the prairie biome found in places with rain from 25 to 75 cm per year, which is insufficient to sustain a forest, and higher than normal in a real desert. The prairie soil is very rich in layers under rapid growth and decay of plants, and very suitable for growing food crops like wheat and corn.

Climate Oceania
The annual average is between 20 to 29 C, with a rainy season and a dry season.
Despite its small size Oceania presents examples of

much of the world's climates, of course most of them in Australia. The Pacific islands have a typical zonal climate, but is highly modified by the presence of the sea, which makes them have very specific climates in each island. Generally the islands closest to Ecuador has an equatorial climate and closer to the tropics a tropical wet and dry, but dry periods are usually very short. Above the tropics tend islands maritime climate of the west coast.
