Europe - Regions Trivia Questions

1. Port wine by definition can only originate in Portugal. In what part of Portugal are the grapes that are used in Port wine grown?

From Quiz Round the World with Team Red: Stage 9

Answer: In the Douro Valley east and north of Porto

The Douro Valley, with hot dry summers and mild wet winters, is ideal for growing the wine grapes needed for Port. The Douro river is an irrigation source and splits Porto. The grapes are not that different from other grapes used in wines; the difference is that Port wine is wine with a distillation spirit added, not unlike brandy which fortifies and sweetens the wine as well as increases the alcohol content. Porto, as a city, has its economy firmly grounded in Port exports but other agricultural exports include almonds and olives which thrive in this climate as well as the export of cork. However while Port has to come from Portugal, cork is also grown in Argentina, Australia and Spain. Question created by 1nn1

Zermatt, Switzerland can be found here, and that's probably the ideal location to survey the Matterhorn from below-- that peak is likely the most famous of the Alps and you'd probably know it from the Paramount Pictures film logo and from being featured on Toblerone packaging. Its highest peak, Dufourspitze, is found on Monte Rosa, the massif between Valais and Piedmont.

13. Found mostly in Northern Italy, what Alpine range also contains a small part of France's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region?

This reach's highest peak, Punta Marguareis, is actually on the French-Italian border. The Ligurian region of Italy, to the south, is less known for the mountains than it is for its coastline. Edging onto the Mediterranean, Liguria snakes from the French Riviera all the way down to Genoa and La Spezia, including the coastal cliffs of Cinque-Terre (bordering Tuscany). The Ligurian Alps also border the much larger Apennine range which extends into the major portion of peninsular Italy.

Iceland is a country famous for its geological activity, especially its volcanoes and geysers. This activity occurs because Iceland straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull, although small, released a significant quantity of ash into the atmosphere. This ash cloud caused significant disruption to air travel as it led to the closure of much of Europe's air space owing to the potential danger the ash particles caused to aeroplane engines.

The Bernese Alps exemplify the mountains of Europe with many of its greatest peaks and the most traditional Swiss villages within the region.
