air circulation is dominated by high pressure systems which cause a very dry and arid climate. These high pressure systems move with the seasons‚ which leads to the seasonal rainfall patterns seen in Australia. Landforms Since Australia is a very flat continent‚ it stays warm. Landforms‚ such as mountains‚ act as barriers that force air masses to move up and over them. When warm‚ moist air meets a mountain it is forced to rise. As this warm air rises‚ it begins to cool down with increased altitude

CINDER CONE VOLCANO The cinder cone volcano‚ commonly found in volcanic areas‚ are constructed of rocks and ashes. Gas created from the lava is blown into the air which then “cools and solidifies as small rocks or cinders”. Cinder cone eruptions “take place in basaltic volcanic fields” that immensely effect the human population surrounded by it. Cinder cone eruptions majorly impact the environment by distributing volcanic gases‚ volcanic landslides and blasting tephra. One of the long-term impacts
