Question

Compare and contrast the important economic activities of Australia and New Zealand.

Answer 1

Both Australia and New Zealand are producers of wool. They also both have large amounts of tourists coming to their countries. In Australia, farming is not too popular because it is hard, due to the climate, Australia still produces foods such as banana, pineapple, and sugarcanes. Even though Australia isn't good with farming, they are a leading producer of ores such as opal, diamonds, lead, etc. On the other hand, New Zealand has more farming/food producing, but they are not too big on mining.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

Australia and New Zealand are leading global producers of wool products. Both countries attract large numbers of visitors and have sound tourism and service sectors. Australia’s climate makes large-scale farming challenging, although the country does produce wheat, bananas, pineapples, sugarcane, and other products. Cattle and sheep ranching are more widespread. Australia is a leading producer of opal, bauxite, and lead. New Zealand, by contrast, has a far more fertile landscape. Major exports include beef, dairy, and fruits and vegetables. Mining is a smaller industry, but gold, limestone, coal, and natural gas also are found in New Zealand. Australia’s economy is larger and more diverse than New Zealand’s and, as such, is stronger.
