- Rising temperatures increase evaporation from rivers and reservoirs, so climate change is reducing water available to agricultural basins like the Murray–Darling and worsening droughts that can leave sections dry for months.

- Although only about 6% of Australia is arable, that small percentage of a very large landmass still yields a high arable land per person (≈1.9 ha) because the absolute area can be large even when the percentage is low.

- If you shaved off all land and dumped that volume into the ocean basins, the added material would fill low regions and produce a global ocean roughly two miles deep, illustrating how land volume compares to basin capacity.

- Because only about 5% of the seafloor has been accurately mapped, vast unmapped regions remain where deeper, undiscovered depressions could exist.
