There are glaciers and great watershed, which is the general name of mountains and plateaus north of New South Wales in eastern Australia. It is located in the northern part of New South Wales, roughly parallel to the coastline. It stretches about 3000 kilometers from Cape York Peninsula to Victoria, with a width of about 160 km to 320 km. Its highest peak, Kosiasco Mountain, is 2230 meters above sea level, which is the highest point in China.
Rivers originating in the west flow into the Gulf of Carpentaria and the Indian Ocean, while rivers originating in the east flow into the Coral Sea and tasman sea in the Pacific Ocean.
Climate:
The eastern slope of the mountain range is steep, with abundant precipitation and humid climate; The west slope is gentle, in the leeward position and the climate is dry. It is the watershed between the Pacific water system and the Indian Ocean water system in the Australian mainland, with a tropical climate zone in the north, a subtropical climate zone in the middle and a temperate climate zone in the south.
The tropical desert climate is distributed from the mainland to the tropic of Capricorn on the west coast. Like all tropical deserts, the cause of formation is controlled by subtropical high all the year round, and the cold current along the coast of Western Australia can reduce humidity. ?
Savanna is distributed in the periphery of tropical desert, because it is controlled by equatorial low pressure zone in summer and subtropical high pressure in winter. Merida-Ling Basin is the main mixed agricultural area in Australia, and a decent city is Darwin in the northwest corner.
The tropical rain forest climate is distributed in the northeast section of the Great Watershed, which is controlled by the equatorial low pressure all the year round, with high temperature and rain, and the warm current in East Australia warms up and humidifies, along the Great Barrier Reef.
