4. Which is NOT one of the six countries that border the Red Sea?

Answer: Israel

Red Sea (438,000 sq km) is connected by the Suez Canal to the Indian Ocean. The sea is located between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered on the west by four African nations: Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan and Djibouti, and on the east by two Asian nations; Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Both Israel (via port of Eilat) and Jordan (via port of Aqaba) are linked to the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aqaba.

Ethiopia was cut off from the Red Sea after the independence of Eritrea in 1991.
5. In the 14th century, the fall of what Chinese dynasty was caused by the Red Turban Rebellions?

Answer: Yuan

In 1351, Han Chinese uprisings were started by the Red Turban against the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), eventually leading to its collapse in 1368. The rebellion was due to ethnic discrimination against the Han Chinese who were classified as the lowest class by the Mongols, causing resentment and feelings of marginalization. They were heavily taxed by the government which resulted in economic hardship and social unrest.

The rebellion was eventually subdued by various forces; Mongol imperial forces, local warlords and Zhu Yuanzhang, who later became the Ming dynasty's Emperor Hongwu (reign 1328-1398).
6. Infrared radiation (IR) was discovered by which astronomer in 1800?

Answer: William Herschel

Infrared was discovered by British astronomer Sir William Herschel when he experimented passing sunlight through a prism and measured the temperature of each color in the spectrum.

IR waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum where the spectral band begins with the waves that are longer than red light. Red is the longest wave in the visible spectrum. We encounter IR waves ever day, however the human eye cannot see them, but can detect them as heat. The wavelength of IR is around 557 nm (449 THz) to 1 mm (300 GHz).

IR is used for many industrial and medical applications. For industrial application, IR can measure temperature and to detect fire. In medical application, IR can relieve muscle pain and tension.
7. What type of vitamin is produced by redheads in less time than other people?

Answer: D

Redheads have genetic traits making them more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, so they produce more vitamin D in less time. Vitamin D in the human's body is produced when the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays contact the skin. Vitamin D is good for bones, for increasing immunity, and enhancing mood.
8. In 2002, which of the following nations with a red and white flag joined the United Nations (UN)?
