Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which lake is the deepest lake in the United States?

Answer: Crater Lake

Crater Lake's deepest point is 1,949 feet. It's also the 7th deepest lake in the world. This question was created by borishanchovy from the United States.
2. In Saint John, New Brunswick, twice a day the St. John River, due to Ocean tides, is forced to flow upstream, in effect reversing its natural flow. What is this natural wonder called?

Answer: Reversing Falls

The Reversing Falls are created by a cluster of rapids and underwater ledges in the Saint John River, which is connected to the Bay of Fundy. The Ocean Tides enter through the Bay of Fundy with such force that when the tides reach a higher elevation than the river it causes the river to reverse its natural flow. When this happens the Reversing Falls are created. This question was created by jojanne1974 from Canada.

Answer: California

The Oregon/California border is where the Beaver State meets the Golden State. To the north, Oregon borders Washington State. This question was created by Adrift from the United States

5. Where can you find the Oregon Vortex?

Answer: Gold Hill, Oregon

The Oregon Vortex is, by most, considered to be a spherical field of force, or gravity. Others say it's merely optical illusions that make people appear taller or shorter depending on where they stand. Same thing why items seem to roll uphill. Either way, it's a fun place to visit. If you like to take a look at what appears to occur in the vortex, search for "Oregon Vortex" on Youtube.
