Australia’s Northward Drift: Implications of Collision with Asia
The Slow Yet Powerful Northward Drift of Australia Australia, often seen as a stable landmass, is actually on the move. The continent drifts northward at approximately 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) each year. While this rate may seem insignificant initially, the long-term effects are far-reaching. Professor Zheng-Xiang Li, a geologist from Curtin University, emphasizes this dynamic…

Australia’s Northward Drift: A Future Collision with Asia
The Slow Yet Powerful Northward Drift of Australia Australia, often seen as a stable landmass, is not stagnant; it’s moving northward at an impressive rate of about 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) each year. While this might seem like a minor change, the long-term implications are anything but trivial. According to Professor Zheng-Xiang Li, a geologist…

Australia’s Drift Towards Asia: A Geological Perspective
Australia’s Northward Drift: A Geological Overview Australia, often viewed as a stable landmass, is, in fact, a dynamic continent that is drifting northward at approximately 7 centimeters (2.8 inches) each year. While this movement may seem insignificant on a human timescale, the long-term implications of this tectonic shift are profound. Professor Zheng-Xiang Li, a geologist…
