The Contrast between Asta and Australia 315 1G. 184. On an Australian sheep farm. The landscape is typical of the southeastern states. Victoria and New South Wales. The two continents are quite unlike in their relief. Asia’s main mountains and plateaus are in the center with projections extending in many directions toward the sea. The Australian mountains lie parallel to the seacoast, while the interior assumes the form of a great desert basin. 9. Map exercise. On an outline map of Asia shade these parts: (a) where the July temperature (Fig. 18) is less than 52°; (b) where the rainfall (Fig. 1) is less than 10 inches; (¢) where the mountains are high and rugged. What areas are left unshaded in your map? Compare this map with your other map (Exercise 5) and see what products are characteristic of each unshaded area. Compare the production in these areas with that in the shaded portions. 10. Map exercise. Make a similar map of Australia. What resemblances do vou see between this map and that of Asia? What differences? Explain. The productive southeastern areas of Asia and Australia. One of the most noteworthy features of both Asia and Australia is the concentration of population and of production in the southeastern sections. 11.
