  1. Australia – geographyofthe country • www.zlinskedumy.cz

  2. Australia is the lowest, flattest, and oldest continental landmass on Earthand it has had a relatively stable geological history. Geological forces such as tectonic uplift of mountain ranges or clashes between tectonic plates occurred mainly in Australia's early history, when it was still a part of Gondwana. Its highest peak is Mount Kosciuszko at 2,228 metres (7,310 ft), which is relatively low in comparison to the highest mountains on other continents. Obrázek 1 Geological Map

  4. The strait links the Coral Sea to the east with the Arafura Sea in the west. It is an important international sea lane, it is very shallow, and the maze of reefs and islands can make it hazardous to navigate. Several clusters of islands lie in the Strait, collectively called the Torres Strait Islands. There are at least 274 of these islands. These islands have a variety of topographies, ecosystems and formation history. Several of those closest to the New Guinea coastline are low-lying, formed by alluvial sedimentary deposits.Many of the western islands are hilly and steep, formed mainly of granite.
