I don't have a PHD but I am a student of geography. Some of these questions are so far off. For instance "Which state is below Canada's Southern most point?" The correct answer is Ohio because it is due south (below) of the southern most point in Canada (I just happened to know that one). If you just mean south of the latitude of that point then part of New York is and most of Illinois is as well. Another way off question is "What time zone covers the Atlantic coast". There are so many valid answers here including GMT, Central European Time, West African Time, Central African Time, Atlantic Standard Time, Brasilia Time. Even with the answers given for this question there are 2 correct answers, Eastern Time and Central Time. And before anyone asks, YES I am extremely OCD.

I answered four questions correctly that they gave wrong answers for. Last time I went to Windsor, Ontario, I got there by going south from Detroit. However, no part of Michigan is below that piece of Canada, so Ohio across Lake Erie is the correct answer. I was taught in Geology 101 that the Andes is the longest mountain range running almost the entire length of South America. And research by Brazilian scientists in the early 2000s found a new headwater of the Amazon which makes it about 60 or 65 miles longer than the Nile. I remember reading a paper on this about 15 years ago. The definition of a landlocked harbor is "one that has most of its sides surrounded by land and is situated nearby a body of water that flows out to the sea through a water canal." That definition certainly does not describe San Francisco Bay. Don't know what else is wrong here, as I'm not well versed in Geography. Since four answers they gave in this quiz are incorrect, I have no faith in any of the other supposed answers being correct. Maybe that's the reason Jay Leno was appalled by the lack of knowledge of Geography when he was doing his man in the street segments back in the day. I did do better answering his questions than answering these. Firms up my belief that one shouldn't believe anything they see/hear/read on the internet. Take it as entertainment, not gospel.

There are a couple of islands of Ohio that are further north in Lake Erie than Middle Island, the southernmost point of Canada. Also, Toledo is a little further north than that too. The other ones you brought up are valid and despite the Arizoana blunder, Ohio wouldn't be correct.

The really tricky part of answering any quiz, test or exam is figuring out what question is really being asked. For example, the latitude one should have said latitude lines, which do go east to west, but are used to measure distances north and south of the equator. It's difficult to get into the mind of the test-maker without knowing the person, but in this case it's obvious that whoever it is isn't as pedantic as some of us are.

I contested that, telling him that 16" guns were as big as the biggest cannons that were on U.S. Iowa Class battleships and would be almost as long as the Nazi subs, so it would be impossible. He was a cranky curmudgeon and responded that I didn't know what I was talking about. As history was my first class of the day, next morning I got into class before him and drew a picture of a sub with a cannon on it longer than the sub across all three blackboards in the front of the classroom. When he came in from having his first cig of the day, he took one look at my masterpiece and then scowled at everybody in the class; while nobody said a thing, but the room was filled with chuckling and giggling while he erased the boards, grumbling the whole time!

According to what I could find, the Himalayas don't even make it into the top four longest mountain ranges. The Himalayan Range is only about 1500 miles long. The shortest of the top four is 2200 miles. Somebody didn't do their homework, but there always anomalies in these things. There was a science one the other day that had a lot of wrong answers, and a science teacher tore it apart in the comments.

The question was LONGEST not Highest and the Andies are the Longest

@notsosilentmajority1 Question #11 does NOT ask: Which state is 'South' of... it asks which state is 'below'. Below means: 1. at a lower level or layer than. "just below the pocket was a stain" 2. extending underneath. "the tunnel below the crags". Therefore 'below' refers to elevation, NOT latitude. Since none of the 4 responses reside fully 'below' Middle Island, as worded, there is no correct response to question #11. Lake Erie, home to 'Canada's southern most point', the tiny Middle Island, has mean surface elevation of +/- 570 feet above sea level. AZ's lowest point is in the Gila Valley, & it is +/- 900 feet asl. AZ is the 'highest'' of all four responses with a mean elevation of +/- 4,100 feet asl. While PARTS of NY, ME [sea level] & IN [the Ohio River in Posey County at +/- 320 feet asl] are 'below' Middle Island, the vast majority of these three are well 'above' Lake Erie. NY's mean elevation is +/- 1,000 feet, IN's is +/- 760 feet & ME's is +/-600 feet asl. Question #11 is a complete paradox.

First, Uncle Dwight is right. Disregarding the misspelling, Arizona is NOT below the southernmost point in Canada; it is over a thousand miles West of being below it. Illinois is hundreds of miles West of being below it. For your answer to be correct the question would have to be "Which state, in its entirety, lies farther South than Canada's southernmost point. Second, none of the harbors you listed (#10) is landlocked; they ALL open into the ocean. If your definition of a landlocked harbor were correct, then all the harbors of the Mediterranean would have to be so classified. The harbors on the Great Lakes are landlocked. Third, # 20 (@ 6:44) is not a question; it is a phrase with a question mark inappropriately placed at the end of it. Fourth, while it is true that on average you enter a new time zone (#18) for every 15 degrees you travel East (or West) which would make a total of 24 when you get back to your starting point, there are in fact many more than 24 time zones in the world. Some countries in the southern hemisphere have a version of Daylight Savings Time. Some countries offset their zone(s) by a half-hour or forty-five minutes for a variety of reasons. Antarctica is a whole different case. Check this link: 24timezones.com/time-zones Fifth, question #21 is poorly worded. Countries A, B, and C are not islands; they are ON islands. Each of them has many little islands in its territory. New Zealand occupies two main islands; the United Kingdom occupies all of one main island and part of another. Ireland occupies most of one main island (Hibernia). The question could have been correctly worded if it ended with the word 'nation'. Only Switzerland of the four is not an island nation. Sixth, you have two questions numbered 20; one is @6:40, and the other is @10:05. The one @10:05 is the same question as #19 @ 6:22. But the correct answer is "None". No one time zone covers the Atlantic Coast, because you have not specified the country you presumably had in mind, the United States. Part of Canada's coast is in an earlier time zone, and Greenland, Iceland, South America, Europe, and Africa all have Atlantic coastlines.

I got almost all of them correct, but there are problems with some of the answers. Also, some spelling errors.

Question #1 is not a geography question, neither is #6. Arizona is spelled very wrong, and any question about time zones is not really a geography question.

I thought I was the only one - there were too many questions that weren't geography questions, too many wrong answers provided, and I find that worrisome.

Longest river in the world is very debatable. First, a new "source" of the Amazon was "discovered" that increases its length. On top of that, there's debate on the source of the Nile and it is also dependent on how you count length. You run into similar issues with coastline...how itxs measured matters. Then there's the issue of lakes. Is the lake the source or do you count the streams into said lake? Do how do you measure through the lake? These actually matter enough to make them switch back and forth for title. The Yangtze and Mississippi River system are really close too. The top 4 rivers are all within a out 100 miles of each other, slightly above or below 4,000 miles

I’m glad , people do this , I’m also glad people are smart enough to call out , discrepancies , there is no ban in learning or knowledge

Now that I see other people complaining about wrong answers I don't feel like I'm losing my mind. I had to check a few of these out cuz even though I was in elementary school of really really long time ago I was pretty sure the Amazon was the longest river in the world and the Andes was the longest mountain chain on land. In googling the answers to these I did get reminded that technically the longest mountain range is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. You can't forget about those underwater mountain ranges. And although they didn't mention it you could probably consider the Gulf stream the longest river in the ocean. That question where Arizona was the answer was totally nuts cuz I didn't get that. I think some were very poorly worded which made them hard. Perhaps the publisher of this quiz should take a class on question writing.

Most of the questions were not from 8th Geography .

Question 8? What? Arizona being the state below Canada's southern most point? That's completely wrong. Arizona is a southern state of the USA bordering Mexico and doesn't even share a border with Canada. In fact there a 3 more states in line above Arizona before you get to Canada. The southern most part of Canada would be around Windsor, Ontario which is close to Detroit, Michegan.

The Question asked nothing about a State BORDERING Canada's southern border. The other 3 States all have northern points in their State which is further north than the southern most point in Canada. As a note:. There are 26 States which have a point further north than the southern mist point in Canada. Which is in the middle of Lake Ontario (I guess it is).

It is Q # 11 in the quiz I took. The southernmost point in Canada is Pt. Pelee/Pelee Island which is in eastern Canada. Arizona is far to the west. Correct answers could be Ohio, Florida and the states in between the two.

The last question is an American question. In Canada the Atlantic Coast is covered by "Atlantic Time Zone."

Good quiz. I like the format. Some areas to be addressed. Q.5: The longest range is not the Himalayas, 2,400km but the Andes, 7,000km. The longest range is actually the mid-ocean ridge spanning 65,000km around the globe; 90% is underwater. Q.10: It is Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay and Tampa Bay. Q. 11: It should be Ohio. Q. 21: it would be better written as which is Not an island nation as New Zealand especially but also the UK have more than one large island. Q. 26: According to the UN, there are 49 counties in Asia. Q. 30: Mislabelled as #20. I write quizzes, and I always double-check all answers, and I try to get the correct answer from the most reliable source, e.g. the number of countries from the UN. Always check the spelling from a direct source. Keep up the excellent work.

Hi! I just popped over the boarder to do a little shopping in Arizona. It was snowing here in Canada and the warm weather over the boarder is always so refreshing.

Fun quiz but as others pointed out a few issues. I will add that recently there is a debate on the longest rivers, as the source of the Amazon has been changed. However, it is debated, not fact. Nile still wins so far. But great fun to take. Thanks for sharing.

I missed 6, but at least two of the answers are incorrect, and several aren't geography.

I didn't understand what the first question was asking. What does a country "responsible" for the largest share of US exports mean? Does it mean they provide raw material for US exports or does it mean they consume the most US exports? A lot of countries sell things to the US that are then used in US products that are exported. Then there is the issue of a lot of US products such as Iphones and automobiles that are produced in other countries. I find it hard to believe that Canada's small population buys more finished goods than larger nations.

As is correctly pointed out, Ohio is south of Canada’s southernmost area, which is Pelee Island. The Andes are far and away the longest mountains range. And the United Kingdom is one largish island, Great Britain, part of another largish island, Northern Ireland, and a bunch of other smaller islands. 0:29

Please insert the indefinite article “an” before “8th grader”. I can tell the writer doesn’t speak English as his/her native language but you should be able to write English at at least a 3rd grade level before writing 8th grade “science” and geography tests.

It is hotly debated in some circles as to which is the longest river in the world. Back in the day it was accepted that it was the Nile. Recently however evidence has come to light that it is indeed the Amazon. Don't even want to discuss "landlocked harbor."

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, counted from midnight.

1) Southernmost point in Canada is Middle Island in Lake Erie, and the state immediately south of it is Ohio; 2) Longest mountain range is Andes (4,700mi), Rockies 3rd (3,000mi) while Himalayas are a distant #6 (1,600mi); 3) Q20 appears (for a 2nd time) in the spot for Q30; 4) several spelling errors need correction.....but it was a fun exercise.
