Which words best describes the climate in Australia’s interior region?
A
warm and wet
B
hot and flat
C
warm and hilly
D
cold and mountainous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This flat, dry interior region is known by most Australians as the “outback."

Detailed explanation-2: -The outback gets so hot and dry because a high pressure ridge sits over it most of the time. This high pressure ridge is the result of the relationship between the earth and the sun. Because our planet is a sphere, more of the sun’s energy is focussed around the equator than at the poles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The northern section of Australia has a more tropical influenced climate, hot and humid in the summer, and quite warm and dry in the winter, while the southern parts are cooler with mild summers and cool, sometimes rainy winters.
