Factors Affecting Australia's Power

Improved Essays
The way that Australia gets it's power is mainly from 7 different technology forms. One is wind power. They whole use turbines to catch the wind and transfer it to power. Another way is solar. They would use solar power panels to turn sun rays into power. There are actually two different types of solar panels. One is called a solar PV that just goes on the roof or a yard to generate enough power for the house. Another is called a CSP solar panel. This panel stretches across a plain and gives enough power for almost all of Australia. The third one is Geothermal energy.

This drone is able to be flown without anybody inside of it so if it does get shot down it won't kill anybody. The drone also takes pictures so if the Australians want to know what something looks like they just have to fly the drone over it and have it take a picture. The way that the drone is controlled is that a person who is in the military, most likely in the Australian Air force, otherwise known as the RAAF, has a joystick like they would have in a helicopter is connected to a computer which displays what the drone is seeing through it's camera. Then the computer is hooked up to a satellite dish or an antenna which sends out what the joystick is doing to their drone so it can fly. The drone if it is needed can have night vision so it can see if it is too dark out to see regularly, it can also have heat vision for if it is tracking something through the woods or where there are a lot of trees. This machine might not seem like it is all that, but without this the Australian military would have to pay a lot more for a satellite to move into place and take a picture which would take a long time and wouldn’t really be able to see all of the people and where they are at which could be critical in the mission that they are about to do. They also have regular weapons like a frag grenade, MP5 machine gun, 12-gauge shotgun to mortars, grenade launchers, and an anti-armour guided air

    Australia was originally in the Antarctic circle as part of Gondwana, a supercontinent that consisted of Australia, Antarctica, Africa, and South America. It was part of the land and then broke off and slowly moved up to where it is now. New Zealand and the other surrounding islands also came from this same land, but, they broke off to form islands of their own. Because of the greenhouse conditions on the planet at the time of Gondwana, the area, despite being in the Antarctic circle, had no polar icecaps and was able to support both plant and animal life.12 The Australasian lands, which include Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, various Pacific islands, were once all connected.12 Australasia remained attached to Antarctica longer than its Gondwanan neighbors.
