![]() These plateaus in part comprise cratons such as the Yilgarn Craton and the Pilbara Craton. Much of the Western Plateau has existed as a landmass for more than 500 million years and is made up of individual plateaus, including the Kimberley, Hamersley, and Yilgarn. On the remote Australian Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the Southern Ocean, volcanic activity occurred on Mawson's Peak in the mid 1980s, and activity on the nearby McDonald Islands occurred during the 1990s.Ī unique rock formation in New South Wales known as the Sphinx. Australia's youngest mainland volcano is Mt Gambier in South Australia which last erupted only about 6000 years ago. This activity continued up to a few thousand years ago in Victoria and Queensland. Throughout the Paleogene and Neogene Periods, volcanoes erupted in eastern Australia and huge lava plains covered large areas. Erosion of the newly-formed continental edge on the eastern side formed the Great Escarpment, which can be traced from near the tip of Cape York Peninsula to south eastern Victoria. The Eastern Highlands also were uplifted about this time to form the Great Divide which separates rivers flowing towards inland Australia from rivers flowing to the Pacific Ocean. In the following Paleogene and Neogene Periods Australia was made up of a broadly undulating landscape, varied by a number of sedimentary basins including the Murray, Gippsland, Eucla, Carpentaria and Lake Eyre basins. By early in the Cretaceous Period, Australia was already so flat and low that a major rise in sea level divided it into three landmasses as a shallow sea spread over the land. After the ice melted, parts of the continent subsided and formed sedimentary basins such as the Eromanga Basin in South Australia. Australia began its journey across the surface of the Earth as an isolated continent between about 55 and 10 million years ago, and continues to move north by about seven centimetres each year.Īustralia's present topography is the result of a long landscape history, which, fundamentally, started in the Permian Period when Australia was very near the South Pole, and much of the continent was glaciated by large ice caps. The Finke River in central Australia is one of the oldest rivers in the world and salt lakes of the Yilgarn region in Western Australia are the remnants of a drainage pattern which was active before continental drift separated Australia from Antarctica. Many of the features of the drainage pattern have a very long history, and some individual valleys have maintained their position for millions of years. About 50 per cent of Australia's rivers drain inland and often end in ephemeral salt lakes. Īlthough the shape of Australia is due largely to tectonic Earth movements and long term changes in sea level, most of its topography is a result of prolonged erosion by wind and water. Recently, scientists have been able to obtain a much clearer picture of Australia's geological past through deep seismic surveys, which has provided new information about how the continent was formed, particularly around Broken Hill, Mount Isa, Iron Knob and West Arnhem Land. The continent is home to rocks dating from more than 3000 million years while others are the result of volcanic activity which continued up to only a few thousand years ago. His fans defended him by saying he was satirical while some claimed he was right for criticizing artists who sexualize ASMR content.Australia is a land of geological contradictions with some of the oldest features in the world alongside rocks which are in the process of formation. Controversiesĭuring the years Ephemeral Rift left some controversial comments about fellow ASMR artists which sparked big discussions on Reddit and some other forums.

His residence is unknown but some people are guessing it’s somewhere around Palmerton, PA. Paul (surname unknown) aka Ephemeral Rift is an American ASMR artist and a YouTuber. Social Blade estimate that Paul earns anywhere between $1.5K and $24.1K per month. He never commented how much does he earn from YouTube, though he mentioned that he has a day job.
