Thematic Nature Trivia Questions

31. The great cultural phenomenon that is the Disney movie "Frozen" is set on a vast snowscape. It is based, very loosely, on the fairy tale "The Snow Queen" written in the 19th century by which legendary story teller?

From Quiz
The Snows Are Coming

Answer: Hans Christian Andersen

"Frozen" is based on Andersen's story but it's fair to say that the final story bears minimal resemblance to it. When the film was first developed it was intended as a fairly straight adaptation. However, after a number of re-writes it evolved into the script that would spawn a million sing-a-longs. Andersen wrote many fairy tales that are now recognised as literary classics globally, such as "Thumbelina", "The Little Mermaid" and "The Emperor's New Clothes". However, when he first published these stories, they were not instantly recognised as the influential classics that they would become. Andersen struggled to sell copies of his fairy tales until they were translated into English for a literary magazine several years after they were first published in Danish.

32. What is the largest pink diamond in the world?

From Quiz Gifts of the Earth: Precious Things

Answer: Daria-i-Noor

Daria-i-Noor - at 182 carats, originally from India, its current whereabouts is open to debate, either now part of the Iranian Crown Jewels or preserved in a vault in Bangladesh. Uncle Sam - Largest discovered in USA in 1924, pale brown in colour, discovered in Murfreesboro, Arkansas with an uncut weight of 40.23 carats. Williamson Pink - From Tanzania, given to Elizabeth II on her wedding in 1947, later incorporated into a broach. Graff Pink - From India, this most expensive jewel sold at a 2010 auction for a staggering $46 million (£29 million). (chears58)

33. According to the book of 'Genesis' what significance is attached to a rainbow?

From Quiz Follow that Rainbow

Answer: God will never again destroy the earth with water.

Genesis 9:13-17 states that God would put His bow in the cloud as a token of covenant between Him and the earth that the waters would no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. He would look on it and remember the everlasting covenant between Him and every living creature on earth.

34. Camille Pissarro painted "Road to Versailles at Louveciennes (The Snow Effect)". What year was this?

From Quiz The Art of Snow

Answer: 1869

Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist who lived from July 10, 1830 to November 13, 1903. He was a contemporary of Claude Monet, Armand Guillaumin and Paul Cézanne. Patrick Bade stated in "Monet and the Impressionists", Pissarro "acted as a father figure not only to the Impressionists but to all four of the major Post-Impressionists, including Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin."

35. Which WWE wrestler and actor has the nickname "The Rock"?

From Quiz Rocks Fall, Nobody Dies

Answer: Dwayne Johnson

After forging a successful career as a WWE wrestler, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made his acting debut in a brief scene in 'The Mummy Returns' (2001) as the Scorpion King, before reprising the character and taking the lead in the spin-off film, aptly titled 'The Scorpion King' (2002). Since then, Johnson has enjoyed a string of starring roles in major films.

36. What name is given to the branch of science concerned with the study of trees?

From Quiz Wooden You Believe It!

Answer: dendrology

Dendrology is the name given to the science and study of trees, and the person who does this for a career is called a dendrologist. Dendrochronology is the name given to the method used to study tree rings to determine the age of the tree. Some samples can be dated back thousands of years and yield important information regarding historical and social conditions of the time. Eremology relates to the study of deserts, selenology is the study of the moon and apiology is the study of bees.

37. One world famous diamond will not fluoresce during exposure to black light, but it glows a deep red after exposure when the black light is turned off. Which diamond is this?

From Quiz Black Light

Answer: The Hope Diamond

Fluorescence and phosphoresence are two different effects, but both are associated with black lights. In the case of fluorescence, the effect can be seen instantly, and colour changes are noted while the black light is being shone. Phosphoresence occurs when there is a delay in the effect. In this case the diamond absorbs some of the energy from the black light and then releases this energy in the form of a deep red glow after exposure.

38. One of the most popular places in the world to take a mud bath is on the shore of which body of water, known for its extremely low elevation?

From Quiz My Magnificent Muddy Mixture!

Answer: The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is located 1,388 ft. or 423 metres below sea level on the shores of the Middle East countries of Jordan and Israel. Most locations which are known for their mud baths have water that is very high in mineral content and the ground has volcanic ash. Mud baths have been used for centuries in many parts of the world as a treatment for small pox, arthritis, gout, and obesity. It is also believed to clean impurities from the body and keep the skin from aging. Remember these facts when your mom catches you playing in the mud in the yard!

39. Also known as the Abominable Snowman, the Yeti is said to inhabit which mountain range?

From Quiz Oh No! I'm Melting!

Answer: The Himalayas

Although there is no concrete scientific evidence for the existence of the Abominable Snowman, it remains one of the great mysteries of the world. As such, it has appeared in many works of fiction, including novels, films and video games.

40. Which teen heartthrob of the '90s starred in the 2006 movie "Blood Diamond"?

From Quiz Ice Ice Baby

Answer: Leonardo DiCaprio

"Blood Diamond" was set in Sierra Leone and its title refers to the dangerous diamond trade in Africa, in which warlords profited off of diamonds mined by underpaid and overworked miners. DiCaprio starred as a gunrunner and diamond smuggler. Leonardo DiCaprio was a favourite among teen girls in the 1990s. He joined the cast of the TV show "Growing Pains" in 1991 and starred in films such as "The Basketball Diaries" (1995) and "Romeo + Juliet" (1996). He really became a worldwide star after "Titanic" (1997) and has since starred in many different movies, showing off his varied acting talents.

41. (Entertainment) Like many comic book heroes, the powers of Marvel's Iceman, have been summed up in his name. However can you tell me the name of the comic in which this frosty fellow first made his appearance?

From Quiz Do You Want Ice With That?

Answer: X-Men

Iceman's real name was Robert Louis Drake, known affectionately as Bobby to his family and friends. Debuting in September 1963, he appeared in the very first of Marvel's X-Men comics, as a mutant with cryokinetic powers. Prior to joining Professor Charles Xavier and his X-Men, Bobby lived happily in Long Island, New York, until an incident with a local bully revealed his powers. Having encased the bully in a block of ice, Bobby was targeted by a group of angry townspeople, which led to him being imprisoned for his own protection.

42. What rained down from the skies in the area of Olneyville, Rhode Island in May, 1900?

From Quiz Here Comes the Rain Again

Answer: Fish

Olneyville is a locality of Providence, Rhode Island. In May, 1900, fish rained down on the area. The theory behind the skies raining animals upon the Earth is usually based on waterspouts or violent winds picking up the animals in their travels. Shortly after, the objects fall to the ground as though raining. This theory doesn't explain why it's normally only one species of an animal that is picked up. The animals involved usually live in water (e.g. fish and frogs) so the waterspout theory may have some validity. The animals are usually alive when they hit the ground so the distances travelled should be fairly small as fish can't survive out of water for long periods. There was an instance of frogs raining on a town in Greece. The species of frog involved was native to northern Africa! Other abnormal things to fall to Earth include crabs, periwinkles, squid, blood, baby jellyfish or fish roe, baby alligators (about a 12 in/30 cm long) and corn.

43. Who was the overall commander of the British cavalry who ordered the famous 'Charge of the Light Brigade' at Balaclava in the Crimea?

From Quiz Shed some Light on the Subject

Answer: Lord Lucan

Yes, it was the ancestor of the infamous modern day Lord Lucan. Richard Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan, disappeared in 1974 following the murder of his children's nanny, Sandra Rivett. Various theories have been put forward as to his whereabouts including suicide, murder and radical plastic surgery to change his identity. Lord Cardigan, by the way, LED the charge. The two were brothers-in-law and each detested the other.

44. Many people consider the song "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and his Comets to be one of the earliest examples of the rock and roll genre. Do you know who wrote it?

From Quiz Never Take Rocks for Granite

Answer: Max C. Freedman and James E. Myers

"Rock Around The Clock" became a number one hit around the world after appearing in the opening credits of the movie "Blackboard Jungle" in 1955. Other songs with "rock" in the title are too numerous to list here - "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley, "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John and "We Will Rock You" by Queen being just a few examples - but "granite" songs are much less common. However, in November 2007 the Australian band Pendulum released a single called simply "Granite" which peaked at number 29 in the UK singles chart.

45. "Sitting here looking up at the sky", muses Shaggster, "I'm reminded of back home and of the Aborigines' belief in how the sky, and everything in and below it, came about." The Australian indigenous people believe the sky was created by whom?

From Quiz Isis Dreaming Of The Sky Above

Answer: By the Great Spirit Ancestors who slept under the Earth

"Oh", said Robin, "I heard that the Aborigines had beliefs and ideas unique to their own tribes?" "True" replied Shaggster, "but all believe in Dreamtime and their Great Spiritual Ancestors" Dreamtime is also known as the "time before time". The Earth was dark and empty until the Great Spirit Ancestors awoke, pushed their way through the Earth and created the Sun, the moon, stars, air, fire and water. On their travels they also created the landscape, people and animals. Finally, weary of their journey, the Ancestors laid down and once again sank below the Earth. However, they left behind their spirits in certain trees and rocks, which Aborigines treat as sacred places. One legend that seeks to explain the creation of the Sun tells of a young girl who left her tribe after her people denied her the man she loved. She ran to a barren place and had no food, water or a safe place to sleep. Close to death, her Ancestor spirits lifted her away to the sky and she awoke to see she now had plenty of food and water. Looking down on her people she realised how cold they were during the day when they were too busy to sit by a fire. From then on she lit a fire throughout the day and extinguished it in the evening when the people below were able to sit beside their own fires Isis wags her tail. She very much approves of Dreamtime and she settles down to have a little of her own dream time!

46. ANIMALS: What animal primarily lives in the dirt and eats dirt as well?

From Quiz Dirt Around Quizzyland

Answer: Earthworm

The earth worm mainly lives in the dirt, although some species rise to the surface to mate or eat other organic matter. The earth worm's movement around the dirt aerates and mixes the soil, and even creates nutrients good for many plants. This makes the earth worm great for farmers and gardeners. Most worms will also take organic material like dead leaves and manure, and bring it down in the ground either to plug their burrow or to use as food. They usually tear the material to shreds, and they partially digest it. When it leaves the worm's body, it will mix with intestinal secretions, thus fertilizing the soil. By aerating the soil, the earthworm keeps open passages for water to drain into the soil for plants to pick up, and also makes easy passages for oxygen to travel.

47. Which disease was once known as the 'Great Pox'?

From Quiz A Pox on Both Your Houses

Answer: syphilis

Syphilis isn't a poxvirus at all - it's not even a virus. Once named for the nasty lesion that characterises the primary phase of the disease. The science of classification has become more exact over time and infectious agents are grouped by genetic relatedness rather than their more notable symptoms.

From Quiz Snow Time

Answer: Hans Christian Andersen

49. The author of the novel 'Whistle Down the Wind' was related to a cast member of the 1961 film of the same title. What was the author's surname?
