Australia is the driest inhabited and flat country, and the one that possesses fewer fertile soils. Only in the south-east and southwest a moderate climate exists. The north part of the country, with a tropical climate, has a vegetation that consists principally of rainy jungles, forests, meadows, swamps and deserts. The climate is very influenced by tropical seasonal systems of low pressure that produce cyclones in the north region, and for the marine currents, including the oceanic - atmospheric phenomenon of The Child, who is correlated by periodic droughts.
