Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Chain of islands grouped together in an ocean or sea.

Answer: Archipelago

An archipelago is sometimes called an island group or island chain. Indonesia is the largest archipelago state by area and population in the world.
2. Large hole in the ground, mountain or hillside.

Answer: Cave

Caves are usually formed naturally by weathering, and there are many different types, such as glacier caves or fracture caves. Caves are found throughout the world; however, many of them have not been explored. The largest known cave with the greatest total length is Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, USA.
3. Headland or a promontory piece of land that protrudes into the water.

Answer: Cape

Because capes are located on the coastline of a body of water, there is generally a lot of erosion that can take place. Many times this erosion is caused by tidal waters. The frequency of this action may mean that the cape has a short lifespan. Known for its importance during the Age of Exploration, the Cape of Good Hope, near the southern tip of Africa, is one of the most famous in the world.
4. Deep valley with steep sides.

Answer: Canyon

A canyon, which can also be called a gorge, is usually carved out of the earth by a river. Because it is difficult to survey some mountainous areas, such as the Himalayas, it is difficult to ascertain which canyon is the largest in the world. Currently the deepest canyon in the world is believed to be at the confluence of the Gilgit and Indus Rivers in Pakistan.
5. Very dry area.

Answer: Desert

Deserts comprise approximately 30% of the earth's surface. The largest deserts in the world, the Antarctic and Arctic Deserts, are cold deserts that are mainly composed of a thick ice sheet. Coming in third, the Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world.
6. Imaginary line that divides earth into hemispheres.

Answer: Equator

The equator, an imaginary line on the earth's surface, is equidistant from the North and South Poles. Located at 0 degrees latitude, it divides the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
7. Flat lands with slight changes in elevation.

Answer: Plains

Plains all over the world, such as the Plains of the Ukraine and Great Plains in the US, are important agricultural areas. The land is typically fertile, and the flat surface facilitates both farming and grazing for livestock.
8. Cold, treeless area.

Answer: Tundra

Tree growth in the tundra biome is hindered by cold weather and a short growing season. The vegetation found in tundra usually consists of shrubs, mosses, and lichens.
9. Large land mass on earth.

Answer: Continent

There are seven large landmasses on earth that are called continents, which include Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. In some countries, the six-continent model is used, combining the continents of Asia and Europe into one, which is called Eurasia, or combining North and South America into one mass called America.
10. Hill or ridge made of sand.

Answer: Dune

A sand dune is usually made by either wind or water. Although sand dunes are mostly found in coastal areas, they are also present inland in dry regions, such as deserts.
