Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these countries is found in Africa?

Answer: Kenya

Kenya lies in the east of Africa, near what is known as the Horn of Africa. It sits to the west of the Indian Ocean and borders Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and Somalia. Kenya is largely made up of grassland, which is ideal for the varied wildlife that make their home in the country, but not very productive in terms of irrigation.
2. Which of these countries is NOT landlocked?

Answer: Liberia

Liberia is a West African country that borders the North Atlantic Ocean. The remaining countries are landlocked; and in fact Lichtenstein is just one of two countries in the world to be 'double landlocked'. This means is it landlocked by other landlocked countries (Austria and Switzerland).
3. In which Asian country, starting with M, can you find the Petronas Twin Towers?

Answer: Malaysia

Malaysia is in Southeast Asia and sits on two main land masses; the Malay Peninsula and the northern part of Borneo. The Petronas Twin Towers, found in its capital city of Kuala Lumpur, were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004.
4. Which of these is an island nation in the Indian Ocean?

Answer: Maldives

The Maldives consist of over 1,200 islands to the southwest of India. About 200 of these islands are inhabited. The Maldives are considered to be the flattest country in the world, with their highest point being a mere 2 metres above sea level.
5. Which of these countries was the birthplace of the prince who became known as Buddha?

Answer: Nepal

Despite being the birthplace of Buddhism's founder, prince Siddhartha Gautama, Nepal is now largely a Hindu nation. It is well known for its towering mountain peaks (having 12 of the world's 18 highest, including Mount Everest). However, its diverse geography also includes savannahs, pine forests and large lake areas.
6. Oman is geographically and politically considered to be part of Africa.

Answer: False

Oman is considered to be part of Asia. It borders the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, as well as the Arabian Peninsula. Its official name is the Sultanate of Oman and as of the turn of the 21st century it was the only country in the world starting with 'O'.
7. Which of these countries, known for its often rugged terrain, is closest to Australia?

Answer: Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea's diverse geography includes highlands, wetlands and rainforests. Perhaps its most famous area is the Kokoda Track, a 60km single-file trail accessible only by foot that hosted a World War II battle between Japanese and Allied troops. Papua New Guinea is Australia's closest geographical neighbour, with only 150km separating the countries (and only about 5km separating Australian mainland from the nearest island owned by the country).
8. Of the following, which is the only country NOT to be considered geographically part of North, South or Central America?

Answer: Palau

Palau lies in the Pacific Ocean; while it was once a U.S. administered island, it became an independent republic nation in 1994. Palau experiences a tropical climate, with significant rainfall (about 150 inches per year). It is also home to saltwater crocodiles that make their homes in the many mangrove areas.
9. What is the name of the 'Q' country whose only land border is with Saudi Arabia?

Answer: Qatar

Qatar is officially known as the State of Qatar. It sits to the north and east of Saudi Arabia (its only land border) on the Arabian Peninsula and is surrounded by the Persian Gulf. It is largely a desert nation, mostly consisting of sand-covered plains.
10. In which of these countries can you go on a safari to see gorillas in the wild?

Answer: Rwanda

Rwanda lies in East Africa. It contains a large proportion of the world's mountain gorilla population, along with chimpanzees and arboreal monkeys. It is also home to over 650 species of bird, plus many African grassland animals such as giraffes and elephants.
