Australia is the world's smallest continent. It is sometimes referred to as an island continent due to its size being smaller than other continents.
Europe is the third smallest continent in the world, after Australia and Antarctica. It has a land area of around 10.18 million square kilometers.
Antarctica, which encompasses the South Pole and which recently has been renamed the South Continent, by international agreement, has to be the southernmost continent. Australia is the only other continent entirely south of the equator, however South America stretches further south than Australia.
Geographically, Australia is a continent, not an island. As a landform, it could be considered an island as it is entirely surrounded by water and not joined onto any other land mass. For this reason, it is often referred to as an island continent. Australia is too big to be formallyclassified as an island. The world's largest island is actually Greenland.Another reason why Australia is also considered a continent is because it sits on its own tectonic plate. This is different from Greenland, which uses the same land mass as North America. That is why the geological appearances are much different in Australia than anywhere else. A place like Greenland shares the same geologic attributes as North America.
Australia, like any other country, does not have the ability to change the weather. However, Australia's geographical location influences its weather patterns, leading to varying climates across the continent. The weather is mainly determined by atmospheric conditions and other natural factors.
