Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The capital of the largest country in the world.

Answer: Molybednum, sulphur, cobalt and tungsten

Mo-S-Co-W(Moscow), which is the capital of the Russian Federation. It lies on the banks of the river Moskva.

2. The capital of Iran.

Answer: Tellurium, hydrogen, radium and nitrogen

Te-H-Ra-N(Tehran). The city is very prone to earthquakes. The whole of Iran is seismically very active. To the north of Tehran, the Elbruz mountains rise to great height. Further north, the elevation drops rapidly and gives way to the depression around the Caspian Sea.

3. The fourth largest city of India, which recently changed its name from Madras to the present one.

Answer: Carbon, helium, nitrogen, sodium and iodine

C-He-N-Na-I(Chennai). It is the capital of the southern state of Tamil Nadu. It is famous as a cultural hub as well as a technology hub. It is even known as the 'Detroit of India' due to the presence of international car manufacturers.

4. The second highest mountain in the world.

Answer: Potassium, 2

K-2. It is located in the Karakoram range, the northern extension of the mighty Himalayas in Kashmir. It is sometimes called Mount Godwin Austen. Most mountaineers say that K2 is way more challenging than Everest. (Think Vertical Limit!)

Answer: Copper and barium

Cu-Ba(Cuba). The capital is Havana. Interestingly, the island is even more famous for its cigars!

6. The capital of 'The Land of the Kangaroo'.

I-Nd-U-S(Indus). It is the name-giver of 'India'. Interestingly, two major rivers of the subcontinent - The Indus and Brahmaputra originate in the vicinity of Mount Kailash in Tibet but head in opposite directions. The Indus is to Pakistan what Nile is to Egypt.

Answer: Holmium, nitrogen, sulphur, hydrogen and uranium

Ho-N-S-H-U(Honshu). It is the island in which Tokyo is located. The other large islands of Japan are Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku. Like Iran, Japan also lies on a major fault line and so it is also seismically very active. Oceanic earthquakes give rise to 'tsunamis' in the Pacific, like the one that occurred in the Indian Ocean in 2004.

The word 'tsunami' itself is Japanese for 'harbor wave'.

9. This volcano is present near Naples in Italy.
