The characterstics of renewable and non-renewable energy resources, patterns of energy use and environmental impacts, as well as Australia's role as an exporter of energy are explained. Australia's propensity for fire and drought are linked to rainfall monitoring and prediction techniques, and how the hazards impact on society, the economy and the environment. Different types of rainforests and their characteristics, as well as how they are explored, are also illustrated.
