Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which bight is located in Southern Australia?

Answer: Great Australian Bight

The McKenzie Bight's location will not be revealed as of yet (that's coming in another question). The Portland Bight is in Jamaica and I made up the South Australian Bight.

2. A bight is a large bay.

Answer: True

Bights are normally shallower than sounds, thus distinguishing them apart. There are many bights around the world.

3. Who was the first Protector of the Bight of Benin Protectorate?

Answer: Louis Fraser

Campbell, Brand and Hand are respectively the second, third and fourth protectors of the Bight. The Bight no longer is a protectorate; the program, lasting only eight years, was removed in 1861.

4. Which of these bights is not real?

Answer: Bight of Mexico

The other three bights are, obviously, in America. The South-Atlantic and New York bights are along the Atlantic coasts, while the South California Bight is part of the Pacific Ocean.

5. What type of coastal geography is a bight?

Answer: Landform

Reefs and trenches are not actually types of coastal geography. An example of a beach is a beach rock.

6. Where is the McKenzie Bight?

Answer: Canada

To be more exact, it is in the province of British Columbia. It is part of the Gowlland Tod Provincial Park.

7. There are exactly 25 prominent bights in the world.

Answer: False

There are actually only about 17. These include the Bight of Benin, the Southern Bight, and the Trinity Bight (among others).

8. What is another name for Mecklenburg Bight?

Answer: Mecklenburg Bay

Mecklenburg Bight is located in northern Europe. The other options are also real bights around the world.

9. According to the IHO, in which ocean is the Great Australian Bight located?

Answer: Indian

The International Hydrographic Organisation decided that this bight belongs to the Indian Ocean. The Great Australian Bight has mostly shallow water.

10. A bight exclusively relates to oceans.

Answer: False

A bight is any curve on any landform. It is, however, generally associated with seas or oceans.
