Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I am often called the northernmost land point in the world. I am known in my mother tongue as Kalaallisut. What am I?

Answer: Kaffeklubben Island

Kaffeklubben is an island located at Greenland's coast. Kaffeklubben Island's Nordic name is Kalaallisut. Cape Morris Jesup was believed to be the northernmost point in the world at one point. Cape Dezhnev is the easternmost point of the Eurasian landmass, and Barrow Point is the northernmost point of the US.

2. I am a "pass" extending from Pakistan to Afghanistan, and was once a critical part of the Silk Route. What am I?

Answer: Khyber Pass

All of these are mountain passes in Afghanistan. Only Khyber Pass, however, was a route used on the Silk Route. The pass has an elevation of 1,070 m.

3. I am the second largest FRESHWATER lake in the world by area, and also the eighth largest by volume. What am I?

Answer: Lake Victoria

The largest surface area of freshwater is Lake Superior. The Caspian Sea is the largest saline lake (not freshwater). Baikal is sixth but also the deepest, giving it the largest volume of fresh water in a lake, in the world. Lake Superior is the largest lake in North America.

4. While well-known as the longest river in the world, my distant source is a little-known river. What river do I spring from?

Answer: Kagera River

The Nile is traditionally considered the longest river in the world. The Congo is separate from the Nile. The Atbara and the Sobat are both tributaries of the Nile. The Kagera River feeds into Lake Victoria, which is normally thought to be the Nile's direct source.

5. Which of these is a monocline in Australia?

Answer: Mount Augustus

Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a monolith, while Mount Augustus is a monocline. A monolith is one single rock, a monocline is rather a fold in the rock strata, so it's several layers of rock, usually at an incline. Visualize a throw rug with one section rucked up, and that's a monocline. Mount Augustus is 1106m tall, the world's largest monocline, while Uluru is the world's largest monolith.
