Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which countries lie on the Iberian Peninsula?

Answer: Spain, Portugal, and Andorra

The Pyrenees form a natural land barrier in the northeast that separates Spain and Portugal (and the tiny nation of Andorra) from the rest of Europe. In the south at Gibraltar, the peninsula is separated from North Africa by a narrow strait, the Strait of Gibraltar.

2. Which countries lie on the Jutland Peninsula?

Answer: Denmark and Germany

Denmark occupies most of the Jutland Peninsula and the peninsula contains all of the Danish mainland. A little bit of Germany also occupies the peninsula, which extends into the North Sea. The Jutland peninsula separates the Baltic from the North Sea - and more generally from the 'open sea', making it a kind of vast northern European lake

3. Which countries lie on the Balkan Peninsula?

Answer: Albania and Macedonia

The Balkan Peninsula includes most of Slovenia, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Albania, Macedonia, continental Greece (including the Peloponnesus), Bulgaria, European Turkey, and Southeast Romania. These countries are called the Balkan States.

4. Which countries lie on the Scandinavian peninsula?

Answer: Sweden and Norway

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland are considered part of Scandinavia, but only Norway and Sweden make up the Scandinavian peninsula.

5. What mountain range runs the entire length of the Italian peninsula?

Answer: Apennines

The Apennines have mineral springs, crater lakes, and volcanoes (Vesuvius and Etna, are still active), and some earthquakes.
