3) Lake Baikal, located at 52°N 105°E, is the oldest and deepest lake in the world, containing 1/5 of the earth's total freshwater supply at a depth of 5,500 feet.
How Australians trade
Australia exports many natural resources, especially iron ore and coal, to China. China provides finished goods in return and is also a leading source of international tourists to Australia due to its proximity. Australia's mining industry is a major part of its economy, with the country being the top exporter of resources like iron ore, coal, bauxite, and diamonds. Gold mining attracted many immigrants in the 1800s.
Where Australians live
Most Australians live along the eastern coast of Australia in urban areas. Nearly 80% live in cities, with over 70% living in cities with over 100,000 people. The most populated cities are Sydney and Melbourne. Most Australians prefer to live along the southeastern coast, which has a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters, similar to parts of the US. The interior Outback has very little rainfall and sparse settlements, though mining is an important business conducted there, extracting resources like coal, iron ore, copper, gold, and other minerals. Farming also occurs in areas with sufficient land and rainfall.

Australia is Discovered
The document summarizes the origin and history of the name "Australia" and the early European exploration of the continent. It notes that Australia comes from the Latin word meaning "southern" and was commonly referenced in medieval times. The first undisputed European sighting was by the Dutch in 1606, who explored parts of the northern coast but were attacked by Aboriginal people. Later, Tasmania was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 and claimed for the Netherlands. The British began exploring Australia in the late 17th century and in 1770 Captain James Cook mapped the east coast and claimed it for Britain, naming it New South Wales.
Geography of Australia
Australia is a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy located in Oceania. It is the world's sixth largest country by total area and has a population of over 23 million people that is highly urbanized and concentrated on the eastern coast. Australia has a diverse landscape that includes the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, and varied climates across its six states and territories.
British Colonization
The British colony of Australia began in 1788 with the establishment of a penal settlement at Port Jackson in New South Wales. Overcrowding in British prisons led the government to send convicts to Australia to establish prison colonies where they would provide labor. From the 1810s onward, convict transportation increased and convicts built up Australia's infrastructure and worked for settlers. The most notorious prison was Port Arthur in Tasmania, which housed the hardest criminals from 1833 to the 1850s. Gold discoveries in the 1850s attracted many new settlers and accelerated Australia's growth toward independence from Britain.
The effect of british colonization on aboriginal people[1]
Between 1788 and 1900, the Aboriginal population of Australia declined by 90% due to the introduction of European diseases and loss of land and resources during British colonization. Diseases like smallpox, measles and influenza spread rapidly among Aboriginal communities and killed many people. As settlers took fertile lands, Aboriginal people lost access to their traditional lands and means of hunting and gathering food. Already weakened by disease, the loss of resources further threatened Aboriginal survival, forcing them to either resist European encroachment and risk violence, or become dependent on settlers.
Australia History - The Aborigines
The first people arrived in Australia approximately 60,000 years ago by traveling via boats from Southeast Asia to the single landmass of Sahul, which included Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. As the most recent Ice Age ended around 10,000 years ago, sea levels rose and cut off Australia from New Guinea and Tasmania. The original inhabitants of Australia became known as Australian Aborigines, who lived in small groups and were hunter-gatherers that depended on the resources available in the different areas of the island. While there was no single leader, Aborigines established trade networks to connect groups and diversify available goods.

Geographical characteristics of The Philippines GO11
The Philippines is an archipelago located in Southeast Asia between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea, east of Vietnam. It has over 7,000 islands with a total land area of 298,170 sq km and 36,289 km of coastline.

Great barrier reef presentation
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, located off the coast of Australia. It is home to thousands of plant and animal species but is endangered due to threats like climate change, pollution, overfishing, and natural disasters. Conservation efforts include the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, which manages the reef, and plans like the Reef Water Protection Plan and Biodiversity Strategy that aim to protect water quality and preserve species diversity in the reef.
British exploration, colonization, & independence
Lieutenant James Cook explored Australia's east coast in 1770 and claimed it for Britain. Due to overcrowded prisons, Britain established the first penal colony in Australia in 1788. Over time, British settlers took land from Aboriginal people, spreading disease and conflict. The British assimilation policies devastated Aboriginal culture and population. By 1901, Australia became a self-governing British dominion, gaining full independence over time.
Physical Features of Africa
The major geographical features of Africa include the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. The Atlas Mountains run along northern Africa between the Mediterranean Sea and Sahara.

MAJOR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF PAKISTAN
Pakistan's major exports include raw cotton, textiles, rice, leather products, carpets, surgical instruments, and sports goods. Exports were targeted to increase by 12.9% but food exports declined by 3.5% due to lower rice and fruit production from adverse weather. Textile exports grew slightly as exports of items like knitwear and readymade garments increased, while raw cotton and cotton cloth declined. The largest export markets are the US, UK, and Germany, though exports are highly concentrated in few countries and commodities. Issues to address include increasing value-added, quality, and diversifying exports.
