The Australia satellite map shows new pictures of Australia as seen from the sky. This satellite map of Australia will allow you to visit the country Australia in Oceania as seen from the sky. The Australia satellite map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

NASA on satellite image noted that Australia was the flattest continent in the world. "Its low average elevation (300 metres) is caused by its position near the centre of a tectonic plate, where there are no volcanic or other geologic forces of the type that raise the topography of other continents as its mentioned in Australia satellite map.

Australia is the world smallest, flattest, and (after Antarctica) driest continent, but at 7.7 million square kilometers (3.0 million square miles as you can see in Australia satellite map), it is also the sixth largest country. Its low average elevation (300 meters, or less than 1000 feet) is caused by its position near the center of a tectonic plate as on the satellite view, where there are no volcanic or other geologic forces of the type that raise the topography of other continents.

The crescent-shaped, uniformly green region in the south, just left of center, is the Nullarbor Plain, a low-lying limestone plateau which is so flat that the Trans-Australian Railway runs through it in a straight line for more than 483 kilometers (300 miles) as its shown in Australia satellite map. The Australian continent is one of the oldest land masses, with some of its erosion-exposed bedrock dated at more than 3 billion years old. More than one-fifth of the land area is desert as on satellite view, with more than two-thirds being classified as arid or semi-arid and unsuitable for settlement.
