The Corcovado Mountain is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's second most populated city (according to figures released in 2010). The mountain's peak can be reached on foot, or via railway, a trip which takes around 20 minutes. The famous Art Deco statue of Christ the Redeemer, which was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by Paul Londowski, stands at the top, its outstretched hands symbolising peace. In 2007, along with the likes of Peru's Machu Picchu and Jordan's Petra, Christ the Redeemer was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

From Quiz Mother Nature's Heavy Hand

Answer: Bay of Bengal

Most of South and Southeast Asia ranks quite high in terms of natural disaster risk. The large, densely populated area around the Bay of Bengal is particularly exposed to extreme weather events such as cyclones (formed over water) and tornadoes (formed over land), which in recent and less recent times have caused extensive flooding, and direct or indirect loss of life. The storm surges associated with these cyclones can be almost as high as tsunamis. The Bhola cyclone (at the time of writing classified as the worst cyclone in terms of death toll) that hit the east coast of present-day Bangladesh in November 1970 caused at least 500,000 deaths. In the 19th century, several particularly violent cyclones killed hundreds of thousands of people; the city of Calcutta (now Kolkata), at the time the capital of British India, was ravaged by a cyclone in October 1864. Bangladesh is particularly exposed to natural disasters because of its geographical location, on the floodplain formed by the massive delta of the Ganges-Brahmaputra river system. Climate change is making matters worse for this small, low-lying country that has been blessed with very fertile soil, but grapples with issues of overpopulation and lack of infrastructure. Myanmar, which borders Bangladesh to the south, is also prone to natural hazards that include cyclones, flooding, landslides, and earthquakes; in 2008, the deadly Cyclone Nargis claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the densely populated Irrawaddy delta.

Question by player playmate1111

From Quiz Felines From Hot Climes

Answer: South China Sea

The name Tonkin comes from the Vietnamese Dong Kinh ("northern capital"), the former name of Hanoi, Vietnam's capital. It was used in the French colonial era for the region of northern Vietnam located in the Red River Delta, a fertile, densely populated, low-lying plain mostly devoted to the cultivation of rice. The Gulf of Tonkin, an arm of the South China Sea into which the Red River empties, is located off the coast of northern Vietnam and southern China. In 1964, US President Lyndon B. Johnson falsely claimed that American destroyers had been attacked twice by the forces of North Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin - eventually leading to open war between the two countries. The Tonkinese domestic cat breed is a cross between Siamese and Burmese, with no connection to the Gulf.

From Quiz Help! Whence Came Those Drooling Dogs?

Answer: England

That's odd, that drooling dog is named the American Staffordshire but there is no Staffordshire in the United States of America. Some people can really drive quizzers (and their cats) barking mad. The original Staffordshire is an English county in the West Midlands. It includes cities as Stoke-on-Trent (the county capital), Tamworth and Lichfield. Places of interest are the Lichfield Cathedral, the Wedgwood museum and Tamworth Castle.

From Quiz Walk the Dog

Answer: Venice

Venice was once an independent republic and ruled by leaders titled Doges. The Doge was a magistrate and was elected to this position for life. Doges ruled Venice from 726 to 1797. As can be inferred by the name, the Doge's Palace was the residence of the Doge. It was built in the 14th century and continues to be an important landmark in the city. In 1923 it was converted into a museum.

From Quiz Geography in Black

Answer: South &South Dakota

The Black Hills are a mountain range that extends from western South Dakota into Wyoming. The name describes the dark appearance of the hills from a distance when covered in trees. Prior to gold being discovered there in 1874, the government had signed a treaty with the Native Americans exempting the Black Hills from white settlement forever. After the discovery of gold the government took back the land. The city of Deadwood was settled around the time of the gold rush. This town was known for its lawlessness. Drinking, gambling, opium, and prostitutes were readily available. Deadwood was the city where Wild Bill Hickok was murdered, and Calamity Jane is also buried in the local cemetery. Another point of interest in the Black Hills is the Mount Rushmore National Memorial; part of the Black hills in Keystone, South Dakota. Carved into Mount Rushmore are four, sixty feet high sculpted heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

From Quiz Uncarted Lands

Answer: Canada

Oh Canada! I was so close to carting things around in your land, but I was already overloaded with American stuff and had to head home. With a total area of 9,984,671 square kilometres it would probably take at least a year to travel this vast land which spans from the North Pacific Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean and claims the magnetic North Pole within its Arctic territory. As maple syrup is a high energy food, I'd need to cart tons of it around in order to sustain me!

From Quiz International Sights

Answer: Brandenburg Gate in Berlin

These words were spoken by President Reagan in 1987 in front of the Brandenburg Gate. The Brandenburg Gate has been considered a symbol for Germany for more than two centuries. Napoleon had the quadriga on top removed as a war trophy, the Nazis celebrated their seizure of power with a torchlight procession through the gate, and after WWII it was a symbol of the cold war until President Reagan spoke those words. The reopening of the gate in 1989 was accompanied by jubilation of many people. Since then, the Brandenburg Gate has become a symbol of the Unified Germany. (Question by malama)

Answer: The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid is probably Copenhagen's most famous landmark. In 1837, Danish author Hans Christian Andersen published a story about a little mermaid.

From Quiz On the Left You'll See ...

Answer: South Africa

Stellenbosch, also known as the City of Oaks, is the second oldest European settlement within the Western Cape Province. The oldest is its neighbour Cape Town. The dark alluvial soil of this region is beautifully supported by a generous Mediterranean climate, which combine to make this area ideal for winemaking. Stellenbosch and the neighbouring Paarl and Franschhoek Valleys form the Cape Winelands, South Africa's largest wine growing region. In the early 1900's Sam Zetler and his wife Jose settled in this area, raised five sons and started farming. Their farm has become renowned for the quality of their superb strawberries and their large collection of unusual scarecrows, which they claim are "the most photographed scarecrows in the world".

From Quiz Here Be Dungeons

Answer: Charleston

Known as the Holy City, partly because of the number of church steeples that punctuate its skyline and partly because it was one of the few cities in the colonies with a policy of religious tolerance, Charleston is the second largest city in South Carolina. It is situated where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers flow into the Atlantic, and moved to its present location on Oyster Point in 1680. Originally named "Charles Towne" after King Charles II of England, it adopted its present name in 1783. Fort Sumter, widely recognized as the place where the Civil War began, is located in Charleston Harbor. Completed in 1771, the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon is South Carolina's most historic building and was once the focal point of the economic and social scene of the colony. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973, the building is now operated as a museum with the dungeon forming part of many of the popular ghost tours operated in the city.

"Nianhua" is a Chinese term that translates into "New Year Print". They are Chinese folk art that symbolise good fortune. Common themes used for "nianhua" include animals such as fish or birds. Deities such as the God of Fortune are also popular. These prints are pasted on walls and doors and are changed once a year to help usher in the Lunar New Year.

From Quiz Here Be Demons: Sulfur in Our World

Answer: Yellowstone National Park

Most of Yellowstone National Park is the caldera of a supervolcano, formed by an eruption 640,000 years ago, and the bubbling pool of Sulphur Caldron illustrates how danger lurks just below the surface there. The yellow color of the pool is produced by thermoacidophile bacteria, which react with the hydrogen sulfide gas there to release yellow sulfur -- instead of the dark grey or black iron sulfide that is generally found in the nearby Mud Volcano and surrounding mudpots. The pool in Sulphur Caldron is really just diluted sulfuric acid. However, the igneous rock rhyolite, which is similar to granite, was the "yellow stone" that led to Yellowstone's name, not the sulfur.
