ACTIVITY
-Exercise 1 on page 66.
![Page 16: Unit 6 - The Continents 1º ESO](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/554a5f93b4c90531228b54ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The landscape
-Oceania is formed by thousands of islands.
-It could be divided into 4 areas: Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
-There are large islands: Australia (the largest island on Earth), New Guinea (divided between Asia and Oceania), and New Zealand (North and South Island).
-There are thousands of small islands.

Climate
-Most of Oceania is between the Tropics, so it has warm climates.
-Climates are temperate in the north and south of the continent.
-Cyclones and typhoons are common in the tropical region, as in Hawaii.
-The islands are isolated, consequently they have many endemic plants (specific for that place).
