Question

True or False. Australia is named after the fabled large southern

continent that Europeans expected to find, called Terra Australis

Incognita, meaning the "Unknown Southern Continent."

Answer 1

Answer: TRUE

Step-by-step explanation: IT is true because Australis, a Latin word, means "southern." The name Australia is believed to have originated specifically from 'Terra Australis' which means an assumed large continent that was expected to be in the southern hemisphere on the basis of large landmasses seen in the northern hemisphere.
