Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first sea that Jolly Joe and his crew move to is the Bering Sea, which is located in the Pacific Ocean. On the west side of this sea, we find the Russian region of Siberia. What American state can be found on the eastern side of this sea?

Answer: Alaska

The Bering Sea forms part of the Pacific Ocean. On the west side of this sea lies the Russian region of Siberia, while on the east side is the American state of Alaska. On the northern side of the sea you find the Bering Strait, which separates the sea from the Arctic Ocean, specifically the Chukchi Sea.

The sea and the strait to the north got their name from a Danish navigator called Vitus Bering. He worked for the Russian army and was the first European to discover the state of Alaska and the Aleutian islands.
2. Jolly Joe next orders his men to move to the Sea of Japan, located in the Western Pacific Ocean, naturally near the country of Japan. The sea has been the subject of a naming dispute between several countries in the region. What was the name suggested by South Korea, among others, because of its specific location?

Answer: East Sea

The Sea of Japan is a relatively small sea between the Asian continent and the Japanese archipelago. The countries bordering the sea include Japan, Russia and North and South Korea. It was landlocked once, but is now connected to other seas by five straits. It forms part of the Western Pacific Ocean.

The sea has been the subject of a naming dispute between the bordering countries. Various arguments have been used, such as using the name of the sea from historical documents and the specific geographical location east of the Asian continent. This led South Korea to suggest the name East Sea.
3. When it is time to move on, Jolly Joe and his crew move to another Asian sea forming part of the Pacific Ocean. This time it is the South China Sea. As can be expected, it is located south of China and also borders Malaysia and the Philippines. Which of the four countries listed does NOT border the South China Sea?

Answer: Laos

The South China Sea is a small sea that is officially a part of the Pacific Ocean. It is found south of China as the name already suggests and borders countries like Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines. Laos is a landlocked country, meaning that it is completely surrounded by other countries. It does not border the South China Sea.

The names used for this sea differ depending on which country you ask. It is sometimes called the South Sea, but is also referenced as the East Sea. The sea is very frequently used, so many countries claim it as their territory, most notably China and Taiwan.
4. The next sea that Jolly Joe and his crew of merry men stumble upon is the Andaman Sea, located in Southeast Asia. They move towards the southeast part of this sea, where the sea narrows to form a strait separating the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian island of Sumatra. What is the name of this strait?

Answer: Strait of Malacca

The Andaman Sea is located in Southeast Asia. It officially forms a part of the Indian Ocean and is to be found near Myanmar (Burma), Thailand and India (specifically the Andaman Islands). On the southeastern part of the sea it narrows to form the Strait of Malacca, the strait that separates the Malay Peninsula from the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

The Strait of Malacca was named after the former sultanate of Malacca, a kingdom established in 1402. It ended when it was invaded by the Portuguese in 1511. The Strait of Malacca has been the scene of piracy, so Jolly Joe and his crew could face some competition, perhaps.
5. The trip of our merry men is already becoming very fruitful. Their next destination is the Arabian Sea. This sea is located west of India and to the east of the Arabian Peninsula. There are a few important branches of this sea connecting it to other bodies of water. Which gulf connects the Arabian Sea to the Persian Gulf, to the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula?

Answer: Gulf of Oman

The Arabian Sea forms part of the Indian Ocean. It can be found west of India and to the east of the Arabian Peninsula. The Gulf of Oman connects the Arabian Sea to the Persian Gulf, lying east of the Arabian Peninsula. The sea is bordered by countries such as Iran, Pakistan and Oman.

The Gulf of Oman is a strait that connects the Arabian Sea first to the Strait of Hormuz and to the Persian Gulf thereafter. It is often considered to be part of the Persian Gulf.
6. The crew is really learning that variety is the spice of life. Their sixth location is the Red Sea. This sea is to be found between the continents of Africa and Asia. On the northeastern side, the men find the Sinai Peninsula. To which country does this peninsula belong, with the peninsula mainly holding two of its provinces?

Answer: Egypt

The Red Sea is located between the continents of Africa and Asia. From the south one enters the sea via the Gulf of Aden, connecting the sea to the Indian Ocean. To the north the sea leads to the Gulf of Suez, and is connected via this gulf and the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea.

On the northern side the pirates will locate the Sinai Peninsula, currently part of Egypt. Part of Egypt therefore is located officially on the Asian continent. Several conflicts have arisen over this location with Israel occupying it at least two times in history. After a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in 1979, Israel gave up rights on the Sinai Peninsula. Today it is a popular tourist destination. The coastal town of Sharm el-Sheikh is among the destinations frequently visited. Its location on the Red Sea makes it ideal for going to the beach, scuba diving or snorkeling.
7. The next sea our merry crew find themselves in is the Black Sea. This inland sea is bordered by Europe on the west side and Asia on the east and south side. On the southwestern side of the sea we find the Bosphorus Strait. This strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. Near which famous Turkish city is this strait located?

Answer: Istanbul

The Black Sea is an inland sea located between the continents of Europe and Asia. On the western and northern side it is bordered by European countries like Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine. On the eastern and southern side it is bordered by Asian countries like Georgia, Russia and Turkey.

On the southwestern side the Bosphorus Strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. This strait is also called the Istanbul Strait, due to its location near this city. It is considered the world's smallest strait. On both sides of the Bosphorus Strait there are parts of the city of Istanbul, with several bridges connecting both parts and therefore also connecting the European part of Turkey with the Asian part of this country.
8. The pirates are beginning to enjoy themselves. They move on the Mediterranean Sea next. This sea is located between the continents of Europe and Africa. The largest island in this sea is an island belong to one of the European countries bordering it. The capital of this island is Palermo. What island is this?

Answer: Sicily

The Mediterranean Sea is located between the continents of Europe and Africa. It is officially a part of the Atlantic Ocean, but is mostly seen as a separate body of water. Traditionally it forms a busy trade route, but due to the favourable climate near the sea it is also an important tourist destination.

The island of Sicily is the biggest island located in the Mediterranean Sea. The island is one of the regions of Italy. It is separated from the mainland by the Strait of Messina. The capital of the region is Palermo, a city founded in 735 BC.
9. The pirates are beginning to miss their Caribbean home, but bravely move onto their next destination, the North Sea. This small sea borders Great Britain, Scandinavia and the Netherlands for instance. Which river is not considered to be a primary source for the North Sea?

Answer: Ebro

The North Sea is a small sea forming part of the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered by Great Britain, Scandinavia and the Netherlands for instance. To the south is the English Channel and to the north it is bordered by the Norwegian Sea.

Several rivers are a primary source for the North Sea. These rivers include the Thames, the Rhine and the Elbe. The Ebro is a primary source for the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the major rivers of Spain.
10. Jolly Joe and his crew are about to return home with a ship full of loot. Their last destination before going home is the Baltic Sea. This sea in Northern Europe is bordered by Scandinavia and the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The sea is bordered by a few different gulfs.

Answer: Gulf of Odessa

The Baltic Sea is located in Northern Europe, bordered by Scandinavia and the Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It is considered one of the largest brackish bodies of water. A brackish body of water contains water with a higher level of salinity than fresh water.
