Australia: A Land of Unique Extremes

Australia is moving seven centimeters closer to Asia every single year due to tectonic plate

drift. The continent literally sits on one of the fastest-moving plates on Earth,

racing northward at breakneck geological speed. Australia's Uluru isn't just a rock,

it's actually the tip of a massive underground mountain that extends six kilometers deep.

The country has more species of venomous snakes than any other nation, with twenty-one

of the world's twenty-five deadliest serpents calling it home. But here's the plot twist that'll blow

your mind: despite having the most dangerous wildlife on the planet, Australia has one

of the lowest animal-related death rates globally because most deadly creatures actively avoid humans.
