Human Geography of Oceania — Quiz

Question 7 • World Geography (Full Year)

How do the economies of Australia and New Zealand differ from the economies of the smaller, remote islands of Oceania?

Answer
A
Australia and New Zealand have economies that are less comparable to Europe than the smaller islands.
B
Australia and New Zealand have less-extensive mineral and metal deposits than the smaller islands.
C
Australia and New Zealand have agricultural economies, while the smaller islands’ economies are based on fishing.
D
Australia and New Zealand have export-based economies, while the smaller islands have subsistence-based economies.

Explanation

Australia and New Zealand have large, developed economies that produce goods and resources for international markets, so exports are important. Many smaller, remote islands in Oceania have fewer industries and rely more on subsistence activities, such as fishing and growing food for local use. Therefore, D best describes the difference.
