C. Australia is moving at about ~7 centimeters a year, which is about 67 millimeters.
Two questions which arises in my mind about aurora borealis are:
- Why does aurora borealis occur?
- Why does aurora borealis occur in a particular time of the year?
Answers:
- As solar wind approaches the Earth, it meets the Earth's magnetic field. In the ionosphere, the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes aurora borealis.
- Aurora borealis is active the whole year. Since it needs to be dark in order to see aurora borealis in the sky, late August/September through the very beginning of April is the best time to go to a destination located in the aurora zone for a chance to see them.
Note: These are the questions which arises in my mind only. It may differ from person to person.
Hope you could understand.

The main reason is that the USA is in the Northern Hemisphere & Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere. It has all to do with the tilt of the earth as it revolves around the Sun. Summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun.
