A Drop in the Ocean Trivia Quiz

Answer: OP

An operation could be surgical, a part of a process, or a board game by Milton Bradley. A quick web search for 'operation water' will give you a bunch of websites and charities that provide education and safe drinking water for people all over the world.

Answer: p

As well as being the sixteenth letter of the English alphabet, your parents have probably told you plenty of times not to 'pee' in the pool!

Answer: pa

Pa, papa, father, dad, daddy - all names for the man who either helped give you life, or took care of you while you were growing up. The link between dads and water? (I DO have to stick to a theme here!) Dads wash dishes, take the kids to the pool, fix the sprinklers, go to the beach or go fishing, and drink water.

Although there are probably a lot mums out there that do the same things...

The Persian Gulf is an extension of the Indian Ocean and has an abundance of coral reefs and good fishing grounds, as well as large deposits of oil - with the potential to damage the natural habitat in the area.
