Economy

Carpentry is the island's main business. On looking at the whole country, the carpentry experts are mostly from Innamaadhoo. From very small fishing boats to large ships are built on this island.

Even though wheat was grown a few decades ago, farming is not a very wide field.

The islanders used to fish a lot in the 1990s. Salting fish was a very wide field. Though, now, as the field perished, fishermen and fish-sellers are much less. The reason is believed to be because carpentry pays well (carpentry is a very good money-maker).

Inhabitants don't contribute directly to the field of tourism, which may be because there is no resort nearby. Though, a lot of diving boats, rowing boats and ferries, etc. (needed for resorts) are built here.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Climate of Australia</span> Climate of the country

Australia's climate is governed mostly by its size and by the hot, sinking air of the subtropical high pressure belt. This moves north-west and north-east with the seasons. The climate is variable, with frequent droughts lasting several seasons, thought to be caused in part by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. Australia has a wide variety of climates due to its large geographical size. The largest part of Australia is desert or semi-arid. Only the south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate and moderately fertile soil. The northern part of the country has a tropical climate, varying between grasslands and desert. Australia holds many heat-related records: the continent has the hottest extended region year-round, the areas with the hottest summer climate, and the highest sunshine duration.
