Compare and contrast the important economic activities of australia and new zealand.

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

Australia and New Zealand are leading global producers of wool products. Both countries attract large numbers of visitors and have sound tourism and service sectors. Australia’s climate makes large-scale farming challenging, although the country does produce wheat, bananas, pineapples, sugarcane, and other products. Cattle and sheep ranching are more widespread. Australia is a leading producer of opal, bauxite, and lead. New Zealand, by contrast, has a far more fertile landscape. Major exports include beef, dairy, and fruits and vegetables. Mining is a smaller industry, but gold, limestone, coal, and natural gas also are found in New Zealand. Australia’s economy is larger and more diverse than New Zealand’s and, as such, is stronger.

answer; european crusades;

the first phase of the government’s plan for settlement was building the transcontinental railroad. the railroad provided a way to bring settlers and manufactured goods west and ship their agricultural and mining produce east. the transcontinental railroad was an essential artery for rapid development of the frontier.

the second phase of the government’s plan was a liberal land distribution policy that made it possible for many people to homestead. with these two key elements—transportation and cheap land—the government rapidly achieved its goal of persuading people to move west, settle on farms, and push back the frontier.
