Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Mawsynram is often quoted as being the wettest place on earth. Which country is it located in?

Answer: India

Like everything that is unpredictable, it is not universally agreed on whether Mawsynram is the wettest place in the world or not. Some years it is and other years it is not. Nevertheless it has a great deal of rain. The state of Meghalaya, India, reportedly is the rainiest place on Earth and the village of Mawsynram in Meghalaya receives 467 inches of rain per year.
2. Which of these is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China and considered the tenth wettest place on earth?

Answer: Mount Emei

Mount Emie is in the Sichuan Province of China situated at the western edge of the Sichuan Basin. It is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China. It rains pretty much all year-round, more than 250 days per year, with it being heavier in the summer, monsoon season, with more than 70% of its rain happening between June and September.
3. Tutunendo is considered to have the third highest rainfall in the world. It is located where?

Answer: Colombia

Colombia's climate consists of six natural regions which depends on the altitude, temperature, humidity, winds and rainfall. Its climate includes tropical rainforests, savannas, steppes, deserts and mountain climate. Tutunendo is located in Quibdo municipality and is reputed to have a greater rainfall and biodiversity than any other district of Colombia.

The area relies on agriculture, fishing, mineral and wood resources as well as tourism.
4. Coming in at number seven of the world's wettest places is Big Bog. Where is it located?

Answer: Hawaii

Located on Maui Island is Big Bog. This bog is the largest in the Hawaiian Island. Again it is reported to be the seventh wettest place on earth and has constant rainfall all year round. Of course there is an argument that Mount Waialeale is the wettest place in Hawaii but Big Bog has had the higher rainfall average over the last 30 years. I am sure the arguments will continue between the two, but for the purpose of this question Hawaii covers both places.
5. The flag may give it away, yes it is Equatorial Guinea. The village is Ureca. What is the island considered the wettest in the land and number five in the world?
