It is set off from the rest of the world by the vast Pacific and Indian oceans. Most of Australia is desert. Also most of the plants and animals are native to Australia.  ]]> 2018-05-03 15:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257698372 sarah_lupinetti https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257698488 Australia's first people are known as Aborigines or as we know them the British. In 1851, gold was discovered in the colony. Treasure hunters flooded in from all parts of the world. As more settlers came, Aborigines were often pushed off their land]]> 2018-05-03 15:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257698488 sarah_lupinetti https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722201 Australians adopted a “white Australia” immigration policy. The purpose of that policy was to keep people of color from entering the country. Japan WA Australia's most important trade partner. In recent years, South Korea, China, and Taiwan have also increased their trade with Australia.]]> 2018-05-03 15:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722201 sarah_lupinetti https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722318 Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. Its seasons are the opposite of those in the northern half of the world, which we are. Because of the tilt, the Southern Hemisphere receives more sunlight between December and March. These are Australia's warm summer months. Those same months are the winter season north of the equator.]]> 2018-05-03 15:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722318 sarah_lupinetti https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722439 Australia was separated from the rest of the continents a very long time ago. Its plants and animals were isolated. They had no contact with other species elsewhere. Plants and animals had to adapt a wide variety of climates. Settlers from Europe brought many plants and animals with them. One was the rabbit. As the rabbits multiplied, they ate grasses that native animals needed to survive. As a result, some native species have disappeared. Others are in danger of becoming extinct.]]> 2018-05-03 15:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722439 sarah_lupinetti https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722503 Scientists divide Earth's atmosphere into layers. The next layer begins about six miles above Earth. It contains a gas called ozone. Scientists discovered that the ozone over Antarctica was thinning. They called this thin patch an ozone hole. The thinning of the ozone layer has created health problems for Australians. It has caused the rate of skin cancer to rise. ]]> 2018-05-03 15:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/257722503 sarah_lupinetti https://padlet.com/sarah_lupinetti/816a71hfuh1q/wish/259395396 The Australian sky is very clear most of the year.
