Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Map 26.2 shows that the majority of railroad tracks are located in the eastern part of Australia, which indicates that this is where the majority of industrialization and economic activity is concentrated. The presence of a gold mine or penal colonies in certain regions does not necessarily indicate higher levels of industrialization. The fact that the east borders the Pacific Ocean may contribute to its economic activity and trade, but this alone is not enough evidence to support the claim that the majority of industrialization occurred in the east.
