The pleura is a thin membrane that lines the surface of the lungs and the inside of the chest wall outside the lungs. In pleural effusions, fluid builds up in the space between the layers of pleura.
Major Landform regions of Australia See also. The Australian continent is broadly divided into 4 major landform regions, each of which is comprised of smaller-scale constituent landform regions-eastern highlands, central lowlands, western plateau and the coastal plains.he lowest point on the Australian continent, Lake Eyre, is also situated in this region. It also includes inselbergs such as Uluru and Kata Tjuta. About 38 % of the Australian continent is less than 200 m above sea level (so far), much of it in the Central lowlands.
Having once constituted a segment of the ancient continent of Gondwana, that land is the oldest and most geologically stable in India. The plateau is mainly between 1,000 and 2,500 feet (300 to 750 metres) above sea level, and its general slope descends toward the east. A number of the hill ranges of the Deccan have been eroded and rejuvenated several times, and only their remaining summits testify to their geologic past.
