Tulare Lake, with an area of 570 square miles (1,476 km 2), once filled much of the area. In modern times, it is usually a dry lake and partially covered with agricultural fields. The lake reappears during unusually high levels of rainfall or snow melt such as the winter of 2022 and early spring of 2023.
With over 39 million residents across an area of 163,696 square miles (423,970 km 2), it is the most populous U.S. state, the third-largest by area, and the most populated subnational entity in North America. Prior to European colonization, California was one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse areas in pre-Columbian North America.
A recent global remote sensing analysis suggested that there was 8,866 km 2 (3,423 sq mi) of tidal flat area in Australia, making it the third-ranked country in terms of how much tidal flat occurs there. [4] Australia has the third-largest exclusive economic zone of 8,148,250 km 2 (3,146,060 sq mi).
With a total land area of 8.56 million square kilometres (3,310,000 sq mi), the Australian continent is the smallest, lowest, flattest, and second-driest continent (after Antarctica) on Earth. [5] As the country of Australia is mostly on a single landmass, and comprises most of the continent, it is sometimes informally referred to as an island ...
The land mass covers 7,591,608 km 2 (2,931,136 sq mi), about 98.7% of the area of the country of Australia and 1.5% of Earth's surface. [4] It is sometimes described as an island, in which case it would be the largest island by area–more than three times the size of Greenland. [5]
