Asia - Regions Trivia Questions

1. Here are some groups of countries in and near Southeast Asia. What factor explains the grouping? I: Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar/Burma II: Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor, Brunei III: Philippines IV: Vietnam, China

From Quiz
Southeast Asia, Grouped and Ordered

Answer: Majority religions (Theravada Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Mahayana Budhism)

In 2015, Indonesia was by far the most populous Muslim nation on Earth, and the population of Muslims in Southeast Asia was only slightly smaller than the total population of Muslims in the Arab world. Both Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism entered Southeast Asia from India in the first few centuries AD. The Mahayana tradition mostly died out during the height of the Khmer empire, but Mahayana Buddhism was re-introduced to Vietnam during its period of Chinese domination. Catholicism was introduced to the Philippines by the Spaniards. Singapore does not have a single religion with majority support.

2. How many Asian countries end with the suffix -stan?

From Quiz The Stan Lands

Answer: seven

It makes sense that the suffix -stan has a similar meaning to -land in English. It could be translated as, "place of," or, "homeland of." When combined with the name of a people, such as Afghanistan, it means the homeland of the Afghanis.

3. At its largest, the Aral Sea covered over 26,000 square miles in area. It was bordered by Kazakhstan and which autonomous region of Uzbekistan?

It was under Russian control from the latter half of the 19th century, until it became part of Uzbekistan in 1936. Nakchivan, Abkhazia, and Crimea are autonomous regions of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Ukraine respectively.

8. Which two seas form borders for the Caucasus Region?

From Quiz The Caucasus Region

Answer: The Black and Caspian Seas

Both of these seas are interesting in their own right. The Black Sea is an extension of the Atlantic Ocean gaining its supply of water through the Mediterranean Sea and the Bosporus Strait. The Caspian Sea on the other hand is the largest lake in the world by area. The lake offers more fresh water in the north of the sea, as opposed to the higher salinity found in the south on the Iranian border.

11. The agriculture of which nation is enriched by its fertile volcanic soils?

From Quiz Southeast Asia III

Answer: Indonesia

Although the volcanic soils provide the nutrients needed for successful crops, there is of course a hazard associated with living on the slopes of a volcano, but many Indonesians have no choice. Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia all depend on their rivers, the Chao Phraya and the Mekong, for their rich alluvial soils that are also great for growing crops.

12. What is the dominant religion of Malaysia?

From Quiz Geography of Southeast Asia

Answer: Islam

Indonesia and Brunei are the other two mainly Islamic countries in Southeast Asia.

13. Here are some countries in and near Southeast Asia, grouped *and placed in order*. What factor explains this ordering? 1. China 2. Laos, Myanmar/Burma 3. Laos, Thailand 4. Laos 5. Cambodia 6. Vietnam

It is the twelfth-longest in the world, and only the Amazon has been confirmed to have higher biodiversity than the Mekong, although the Congo River is also in the same class (Mekong River Commission: http://www.mrcmekong.org/assets/Publications/basin-reports/MRC-SOB-report-2010full-report.pdf).
