Geography Anagrams Trivia Questions

1. Homer Simpson was in DENIAL when he thought his family enjoyed living in Alaska.

From Quiz
Making Mountains out of Antimuons

Answer: Denali

The mountain known as Denali is the tallest in North America. It rises up to a height of approximately 20,300 ft (6,190 m). The mountain is located in southern central part of the State of Alaska, roughly between the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

2. ASIA ULTRA. Could this country think it is superior to it continental neighbour?

From Quiz Zooming in on edMix pU triesCoun

Answer: Australia

"Terra Australis meaning "land of the south" has been seen on maps as far back as the 15th century although it was not based on any landmass survey but on a hypothesis that continents in the Northern Hemisphere should be offset by a similar amount of land in the southern hemisphere. The name Australia is from the Latin "australis", meaning "southern". When the explorer Matthew Flinders circumnavigated the continent in 1804 confirming it was an island (Tasmania had already been proved to be an island separate to the main landmass by the same explorer), it was adopted for official use since 1817, This displaced "New Holland," a Dutch name, as the name for the continent. When the six British colonies on the land mass (including the island colony of Tasmania) federated in 1901, the name for the country was a logical progression of the the name of continent, so the Commonwealth of Australia became a sovereign nation but remained as part of the British Empire. Question submitted by proud Australian Phoenix Rising team member 1nn1.

13. INK PASTA. I know Spain and Italy like ink in some of their pasta dishes but this country is nowhere near Europe.

From Quiz Zooming in on edMix pU triesCoun

Answer: Pakistan

Pakistan was created from the division of British India in 1947, however, the discussions that worked toward this end were a series of Round Table conferences that were held in the 1930s. A young Muslim nationalist by the name of Choudhry Rahmat Ali presented a pamphlet toward the end of these dealings that demanded the establishment of a separate Muslim state i.e. Pakistan. In the first paragraph there was a call for a home for 30 million Muslims from the regions of (P) Punjab, (A) Afghan Province (as it was known then), (K) Kashmir and Sind and Baluchistan. He called the nation PAKSTAN. This would eventually become the adopted name for the new country, with an (I) being added to make it easier to pronounce. "Pak" also means "pure" and "stan" has its origins in Persia, meaning "land". Hence Pakistan is "the land of the pure". This question was created by Phoenix Rising's pollucci19 who has never been to Pakistan but has eaten ink pasta.

Spain does not have any native panda species, but the Madrid Zoo Aquarium is noted for housing endangered giant pandas, the first of which arrived from China in 1978.
