Asia y Oceanía: relieve, hidrografía, clima, ASIA IMPORTANT INFORMATION,…

- - - - Oceania can be divided into three island groups: 3.1. Continental Islands, 3.2. High
        Islands, and 3.3 Low Islands. The islands in each group are formed in different ways and are made up of different materials. Continental islands have a variety of physical
        features, while high and low islands are fairly uniform in their physical geography.
        
        1 CONTINENTAL ISLANDS
        
        Continental islands were once attached to
        continents before sea level changes and tectonic activity isolated them. Tectonic activity refers to
        the movement and collision of different sections, or plates, of the Earth’s crust.Australia, Zealandia, and New Guinea are
        continental islands. These three regions share some physical features. All three have mountain
        ranges or highlands—the Great Dividing Range in Australia; the North Island Volcanic Plateau and Southern Alps in New Zealand; and the New Guinea Highlands
        in Papua New Guinea. Although they share some landscape features, each of these regions has distinct
        physical features that resulted from different environmental processes. Australia’s landscape is dominated by the Outback, a region of deserts and semi-arid land
