Free Trade Economy

Western Australia Economy

Western Australia's economy


what are the main goods and services produced by the W.A econdry ?

Western Australia has the highest per capita output of any Australian state.The economy in Western Australia is heavily based on mining such as iron, alumina , mature, gas and gold.



which regions produce what kids of goods and services ?

There are several regions located in Western Australia each region provides different goods and services At last gold was discovered. A short-lived rush to the Kimberley district in 1886 was followed by more promising finds in the Pilbara and Yilgarn districts (1887–88). Economic activity stimulated a campaign for constitutional autonomy.

• Minerals
• Manufacturing
• Transport
  
  what are the strengths and weakness of the economy ?
  
  The potential weaknesses of Australia now are the expanding resources sector and also we reliant more and more on the number of key resources exports. The State's vast area provides soils and climates suited to a variety of agricultural production from open range grazing and broad cereal cropping to irrigated pastures and horticulture, orchards and vineyards. Wheat, wool, beef and lamb are the main products. Tropical and temperate horticultural products and stockfeed is also important. Western Australia's fishry is world's major suppliers of pearls. With a decline in fish stocks in other parts of the world, the steadily growing aquaculture industry is providing high value products to markets. Pearl farming at Broome in recent years with high quality cultured pearls and Mother of Pearl being exported to Asia and Europe.
  
  How is the W.A economy changing ?
  
  The Western Australian's economy is linked to the abundance of the natural resources. This has provided the State with a comparative advantage in resource extraction and processing. Very high levels of job vacancies have emerged and unless skilled workers can be found, the state government fears that significant economic opportunities may be lost. W.A with about 10% of Australia's population, has historically generated approximately 30% of Australia's export revenues, but the recent commodities has pushed this figure to 40%. The State now generates more export income than New South Wales and Victoria the two most populous states.

Greenland

Effects of climate change in Greenland

The ice cap in Greenland now is melting because of the climate change.Global warming is happening now, bringing changes to our climate and our world. Yet the climate is changing at an accelerated pace in the region of Greenland.

Greenland

by a massive ice sheet that is roughly the size of Mexico 700,000 square miles and it's contains nearly a tenth of the feeling the globe's Greenland is the world's largest island and it's the largest dependent territory by area in the world. It also contains the world largest national pack. It's almost entirely covered world fresh water supply. The temperatures in Greenland have increased by over 4 degrees and the area of Greenland ice sheet that melts each summer has increased by 16 percent from 1979 to 2002. During the record-setting melting in 2005 satellites recorded melting in areas that have never melted in the past 27 years.This surface melting further threatens the ice sheet by causing lakes to form on the ice sheets surface.The Greenland ice sheet now dumps nearly three times as much ice into the sea as it did 10 years ago enough every few days during the melting season to supply New York City with fresh water.The amount of ice flowing into the sea from Greenland ice cap now appears to be out pacing the buildup of snow further inland and global warming is already having negative impacts.Greenland is sheet is melting faster and faster each days. Few parts of the world is climate change and the Arctic is fastest warming. At a science station in the ice covered interior of Greenland average winter temperatures rose nearly 11 degrees Fahrenheit from 1991 to 2003. A rapid meltdown and fast-sliding glaciers in Greenland could raise sea levels around the world and flood coastal cities and farmland.

Effects Of People

some of the hunters have drowned after falling through thinned ice, which were due to the increase in temperature from global warming melting the thinned ice. Greenland is closely situated to the Antarctica. This predisposes Greenland to a greater impact if the ice from antarctic were to melt and worse even Greenland may one day soon enough be covered by water and no more land will be left. The earth will be rising of water because of the ice cap meting and everyone will be died.

Why did the ice melt ?

Because of the Global warming the climate change witch heat up the atmosphere the sun radiation gone down and some of them can't reflected back because of the gashouse that make the atmosphere hot.

Sharks

They are many kind of sharks like Blacktip Reef shark, blue shark, great white shark, hammerhead shark Mako shark and Sandtiger shark. Sharks are a type of fish with a full cartilaginous skeleton and a streamlined body.Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles to protect their skin from damage and parasites and to improve fluid dynamics. Shark teeth are prized by collectors for their beauty, and because they are the only surviving relics of ancient sharks that are now extinct. The most dangerous shark is Great white shark and it's the largest shark in the world.


Great white Shark


This shark is Great white shark are the most dangerous it attack people and other fish but it attack on people more than others type and also. Great White Sharks are a very large species of shark. They are streamlined swimmers, and have a torpedo-shaped body with a pointed snout. They have about 3000 teeth, arranged in several rows. The first two rows of teeth are used for grabbing and cutting prey, while the teeth in the last rows rotate into place when front teeth are broken, worn down, or fall out. The teeth are triangularly shaped with serrations on the edges.The back of the shark is a dull Grey color and the underside is colored white. They have three main fins: the dorsal (on back) and two pectoral fins (on the sides). The tail is crescent shaped. There are five gill slits on Great White Sharks.Most of the largest sharks are found in South Australia.The largest one ever recorded was 6.4m (21ft) long, and weighed 3312kg! The maximum length able to grow is thought to be 25ft. Though some people claim to have seen sharks as long as 31ft. The smallest Great White shark caught was 47inches long, but was newly born.

Great White Sharks live in all coastal temperate waters, and have been known to occasionally make dives into the deep water of open oceans. They can be found in water as shallow as three feet deep, and as deep as 1280metres. They can be found on the following coaslines: California to Alaska, the east coast of the USA, most of the Gulf coast, Hawaii, most of South America, South Africa, Australia (except the north coast), New Zealand, Mediterranean Sea, West Africa to Scandinavia, Japan, and the eastern coastline of China to Russia.

Blue Whale

General Information

Blue whales have long, streamlined bodies with a small dorsal fin. The body is smooth, with small, light-colored patches. The color of a blue whale is grayish, with a slight bluish tint. The head, when seen from above, is U-shaped. There are 60 longitudinal grooves along the stomach and throat. These grooves stretch about halfway along the body.

Where They Live
Blue Whales can be found in almost all of the oceans of the world, but there are three main areas. One is in the northern Pacific, another, the northern Atlantic, and last, the southern Hemisphere.

Migration
Blue whales stay in the waters of the Antarctic in the summer, and then migrate toward warmer waters such as those of Brazil, Ecuador, South Africa, and - less often - Australia and New Zealand.

Population Decrease
Because of great amounts of blubber and flesh that blue whales have, industrial whalers have long preferred this species. Since the book I used has been written, the population has not increased.

WHALE LENGTH WEIGHT
newborn 23 feet -
female 85 feet 88-145 tons
male 82 feet 88-145 tons
