“Think You Know The World?”: Test Yourself With 30 Open-Ended Geography Questions

Whilst some spelling variants were accepted, it would helpful if Mariana Trench and Angel Falls were accepted, the same as Great Barrier Reef. The Greenwich Meridian is also an accepted proper name for the North South line (in fact I had to think very hard to think of another name for it!).

The quiz answer to question 30 - Greenland - is contradicted by the quiz answer to question 5: the quiz acknowledges Australia as an island, and Australia is a lot bigger than Greenland. Also: Angel Falls is its name, not "Angel", so why wasn't that accepted? Anyway, it's just a silly quiz - mildly entertaining. Thank you.

Brazilian here. The Amazon forest encompasses more than just Brazil. We have the largest share, but we're not the only country in the forest

No. 4: There's currently a debate about whether the longest river in the world is the Nile or the Amazon. No. 8: I typed "Andes mountain range" and it said it was wrong (I should have just typed "Andes"). No. 13: I wrote "Mariana Trench" and it told me it was wrong (I should have just written "Mariana"). No. 16: same thing with "Angel Falls" (I should have just written "Angel"). No. 25: "Greenwich Meridian" is the same as "Prime Meridian" (only possible answer).

There are 38 official time zones in the world. If you were to divide a day up by hours, that would be 24. These quizzes are almost as a ridiculous as the amount of advertising bloat that is on this page.

D**n those Urals. Couple of others are arguable, like Australia as a continent and an island - I mean it had to be the desired answer, but as a continent (as currently accepted) it also includes New Zealand and Borneo. And the time zones is nonsense - there are lots of countries with half-hour or even 15-minute deliniated time zones, totalling around 40 IIRC.

Upvote for the time zones; correction for the continent -- yes, New Guinea and several islands are part of the same continental plate as Australia (I think it's the Wallace Trench that divides it from the Asian plate) but New Zealand isn't.

Also the Mid-Ocean ridge is longer than the Andes although mainly underwater it is still the longest in the world but as mentioned it’s only a quiz.

There are more than 24 time zones (just as one example, Newfoundland being half an hour off of Atlantic Time).

Come on, BP. These are not 'open-ended questions'. They are 'closed questions' because they require a single, factual, specific answer. An 'open' question invites opinion and explanation. For example, "What are the biggest challenges for the world's oceans today?".
