13 Mt. Everest Mt. Everest Earth's highest mountain peak Climbing this mountain is extremely dangerous Sherpas are guides that help climbers reach the summit The peak is so high that jet stream winds hit it with speeds of 200 mph Mt. Merapi Mt. Merapi Most active volcano in Indonesia (there are 129 active volcanoes) On the island of Java Stratovolcano with smoke erupting 300 days of the year Located in the Pacific Ring-of-Fire
14 Great Victorian Desert Great Victorian Desert Largest desert in Australia Made of sandhills, grasslands, and pebbles Many kinds of small lizards live in the desert Predators are the dingo (wild dog) and large monitor lizard Great Dividing Range Great Dividing Range Group of mountain ranges along the eastern side of Australia Most of the mountains do not have steep peaks There are many National Parks The mountains are the source of the water supply for Eastern Australia
