20 pts can someone give me some facts about australia and the pacific

Random facts?

Australia comes from the Latin australis, meaning “southern.”

In 1824, “Australia” became the official name of the continent. 

There are four different types of Australian dollars.

English is the main language but there it is estimated that over 200 languages are spoken across Australia.

Australia became a British colony in 1788, followed by New Zealand in 1840 and Fiji in 1872. Soon after, other European nations began to establish colonies in the rest of the region.

(Assuming you mean the Pacific Ocean)
The Pacific Ocean is located between Americas to the East of the Pacific Ocean basin and the Asian and Australian continents to the West.

Pacific means "peaceful", coming from the Latin "pace".

The Pacific is the biggest ocean on earth and covers more than 30% of the earth’s surface. 

Most of the volcanoes (75%) on earth are located in the Pacific Ocean basin, the volcanoes actually form a ring around the basin and therefore it is called the ring of fire. 

 Most of the islands in the world are found in the Pacific Ocean. There are more than 25,000 islands in the Pacific.
