When you provide wrong answers, you defeat the purpose of the quiz.The Andes is the longest mountain range, not the Himalayas. The Himalayas are the highest.
True
I agree. I also said the Andes
Thats what I thought too.
Yes! I was right as well!! Thank goodness I read the comments
That was my pick. Who does these quizzes?
Yes, I can pass an 8th grade geography test. Can the author pass a 4th grade spelling test?
My thoughts exactly. But if this truly is the standard for 8th grade geography, then why do I keep running into so very many geographically-challenged college students?
@@burleybater Because they Google everything and the education system sucks. I don't think 12th graders pass this test.
Or even a geography test 🤣

Groan......."A landlocked harbor" . News flash : If it is landlocked it is a lake .....NOT a harbor. From the dictionary " enclosed by land and having no navigable route to the sea". That certainly isn't the only thing wrong with this "quiz". Whoever made this quiz should go back to the 8th grade.
Yeah, that landlocked harbour rubbish threw me for a loop as well as there is no such thing as landlocked harbour. The only big harbour that I can think of not near a real ocean is Duluth, Minnesota which is situated on the banks of Lake Superior.
What is the world's largest landlocked harbor?

@@philipbuckley759 If it was landlocked it wouldn't be a harbor. Look up the definition of "harbor".

@@journeyman553 I looked up "landlocked harbour" it means a harbour that is accessible only via a narrow canal to a larger body of water. It literally says "virtually landlocked". Yeah, bullshit terminology, but c'est la vie
The longest mountain range on Earth is actually the Mid-Atlantic ridge. But, above water, it's the Andes 4,300 miles / 7000 Km.
Thank you!
Himalayas rank sixth. The Mid-Ocean is 40,000 miles- quite a boy scout hike.
First, Arizoana is not a stat. Secondly, if they're referring to Arizona it certainly does not border Canada in any way shape or form. Thirdly, the southern most point of Canada is Pelee Island directly to the south of which is Ohio, not offered as an answer on #11. just sayin'
Thank you Uncle Dwight, I don't feel totally STUPID!🎉!rekwife
They worded wrong; obviously meant most south.
Well, strictly speaking, it doesn't say directly below, so it's way below which is still below. But yeah, that was a trick question and almost no one likely picked Arizoana.
You beat me to the punch! I was going to say the same exact thing.
I've also never seen San Francisco spelled "Sanfrancisco"
The quiz itself fails any test of correctness!
3:40 In case anyone's wondering, Arizoana is that new state that citizens from Arizona and Indiana got together to form.
No no, you're thinking of Arizindiona. So the quiz is still wrong.
It’s what you get when your formerly landlocked state is seized by an overzealous animated Polynesian Disney princess with unusual control over water. Bordered on the East by New Mauixico.
@@SpamSucker Now I really want to go to New Mauixico.

What are you talking about??
Hopefully, when the person who made this quiz eventually reaches the 8th grade, their knowledge and skills will have improved.
they dropped out after 7th grade . . .
what if that person has passed 8th grade??
Yeah cuz Andes are Twice as Long lol
Exports / trade is not really geography. Although related, it's more economics. You repeated question #20. And is a bay really "landlocked"?
And U.S. Exports almost equally between Canada and Mexico, and year to date in 2022 China is the largest export recipient. It depends on the specific year.
iVE DRIVEN OVER THAT ORANGE BRIDGE WHICH SPANS THE OPENING
There were quite a few of the questions that aren't actually geography Such as which Scandinavian country isn't in the EU
@@earlmartin7650 You have a very narrow understanding of geography. Economics are part of the science of geography.
Only if it's in Lesotho.
Whoever developed this test needs to do some basic research themselves!
Was done by a Chinese
They don't care. When people watch it, they get paid. And when people make comments (about the mistakes), it moves the video "higher", so more people watch it. And they get paid more.
No kidding, that first question wasn't even proper english. I bailed after that and found justification for my decision in the comments.
and maybe learn to spell, i.e. Puget, Arizona etc . . .
@@esotericsage6914 Agreed. I stayed with it just to find more grammatical and spelling mistakes. That made this quiz somewhat humourous.
I ended up with 25 out of 30. However, after reading some of the responses below, it sounds like I can add a couple more points to my score. I'm sure the Andes mountain range is the longest and I can't believe that Arizona is directly below the southernmost point in Canada. Geography and History were my favourite subjects in school, so I know my teachers taught me well in these subjects. By the way, I'm 67 years young now, so I think I did pretty good on this quiz.
I agree about the Andes. However Arizona is completely south ,{not due south} , of Canadas southernmost point. The other three states have some areas that are north of Canadas southernmost point.
The question should have been What state is entirely below Canadas southernmost point.
@@pclark1332 Located at roughly 41.7 degrees north latitude, Middle Island is the southernmost land point in all of Canada, about 164 yards from the Lake Erie Maritime border with the US State of Ohio.Jan 9, 2021
By default, none of the answers at 3:39 are correct, because "Arizoana" (underlined in red as I type it) is not a state. (Perhaps a combination of Arizona, a real state, and Indiana?)
@@pclark1332
THAT was a poorly written question.
54.40 of FIGHT !
I have a PhD in Geography but I got only 10 of the answers correct. What a shame! However, it turned out that many of the answers are in fact erroneous from the replies below. This gave me back a little bit of self-respect.
Proves my contention exactly. A Phd is simply shit Piled Higher & Deeper.
money well spent on that PhD...
I got 20 and have no qualifications lol
So glad to hear that. I'm not a PhD but I'm very well traveled and could not answer a lot of these questions. I also found myself asking, who cares? And is that really important to know? Do they really make 8th graders memorize senseless bs like this? Seems like trivia rather than knowledge.
I don't have a PHD but I am a student of geography. Some of these questions are so far off. For instance "Which state is below Canada's Southern most point?" The correct answer is Ohio because it is due south (below) of the southern most point in Canada (I just happened to know that one). If you just mean south of the latitude of that point then part of New York is and most of Illinois is as well. Another way off question is "What time zone covers the Atlantic coast". There are so many valid answers here including GMT, Central European Time, West African Time, Central African Time, Atlantic Standard Time, Brasilia Time. Even with the answers given for this question there are 2 correct answers, Eastern Time and Central Time. And before anyone asks, YES I am extremely OCD.
Longest mountain range is the Andes, if you don't count the mid-ocean ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.
LOL True. And I'm not sure about the ranges under the ice in Antarctica
absolutely true
the longest mountain range in the world is the ANDES at 7,000+ km. the himalayas are only the fifth longest, at about 2,500 km.
plus you asked the time zone for the east coast twice.
Yes. They may be the tallest but not nearly the longest
@@clayboyd4675 Right.
Some questions are to east some are just trivia no 8 th grader would be exposed to
Vasco for the win.
I answered four questions correctly that they gave wrong answers for. Last time I went to Windsor, Ontario, I got there by going south from Detroit. However, no part of Michigan is below that piece of Canada, so Ohio across Lake Erie is the correct answer. I was taught in Geology 101 that the Andes is the longest mountain range running almost the entire length of South America. And research by Brazilian scientists in the early 2000s found a new headwater of the Amazon which makes it about 60 or 65 miles longer than the Nile. I remember reading a paper on this about 15 years ago. The definition of a landlocked harbor is "one that has most of its sides surrounded by land and is situated nearby a body of water that flows out to the sea through a water canal." That definition certainly does not describe San Francisco Bay.
Don't know what else is wrong here, as I'm not well versed in Geography. Since four answers they gave in this quiz are incorrect, I have no faith in any of the other supposed answers being correct. Maybe that's the reason Jay Leno was appalled by the lack of knowledge of Geography when he was doing his man in the street segments back in the day. I did do better answering his questions than answering these.
Firms up my belief that one shouldn't believe anything they see/hear/read on the internet. Take it as entertainment, not gospel.
There are a couple of islands of Ohio that are further north in Lake Erie than Middle Island, the southernmost point of Canada. Also, Toledo is a little further north than that too. The other ones you brought up are valid and despite the Arizoana blunder, Ohio wouldn't be correct.
The really tricky part of answering any quiz, test or exam is figuring out what question is really being asked. For example, the latitude one should have said latitude lines, which do go east to west, but are used to measure distances north and south of the equator. It's difficult to get into the mind of the test-maker without knowing the person, but in this case it's obvious that whoever it is isn't as pedantic as some of us are.
Latitudes go from north to south. That's why they are usually called NORTHINGS.!!
@@rolandbraun1197 longitude is north to south. Both of you are directionally hopeless.
@@dbsmike The original poster was correct. Latitude LINES run east to west, but latitude measures distances from North and South. Longitude LINES run North and South, but longitude measures distances from East to West
@@MrMajikman1 Latitude and Longitude are used as geographic coordinates. They themselves do not measure distance, just angular degrees.
@@lycian123 Longitude and
latitude do indicate a specific degree from the X and Y axis, N, S, E, W from a specific point of 0.00 degrees. Even though they have no lineal designation in terms of measurement, they still measure in degrees from a specific point. No?🤔
Which time zone covers the Atlantic coast? the Atlantic coast of which country? or indeed continent?
It's a multiple choice question. Of the answers provided, which one covers any Atlantic coast?
@@billvojtech5686 Atlantic Time, not eastern time, New York and Toronto are on eastern time whereas Boston and Halifax are on Atlantic time, a difference of one hour.
@@bruceghent8776 Boston is in the same time zone as New York City. Do a search for time zone maps.
@@billvojtech5686 Central Time Zone also is on the Atlantic coast of Panama or any other Central American country. Mr. Reynold's comment is still valid.
@@bruceghent8776 Whereas that is true, it wasn't a possible choice. Your comment does highlight Mr. Reynold's point though.
As we would say in the south : "some of this shit ain't right!"
Latitudinal lines may run east and west, but latitude is measured in terms north and south of the equator.
No, that's longitude!
@@janined5784 Longitude is measured in degrees west or east of the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England, until one gets to the International Date Line at 180°, or thereabouts, as it varies quite a bit on its trip from the North Pole to the South Pole.
There is apparently a heated debate going on in scientific circles as to what river is the longest, the Nile or the Amazon. It’s always been assumed that the Nile is the longest.
However, a group of Brazilian scientists 14 day expedition extended the length of the Amazon by about 176 miles (284 kilometers) making it 65 miles (105 kilometers) longer than the Nile.
I’m not sure this has been aproved internationally yet.
YES-me the Brazilian
Interesting, because I said Amazon for that question.
The Amazon is the river with more total amount of water in the world
Isn’t the Nile river the river after the Blue Nile and the White Nile merge, so shorter than one would think.
I didn't even finish the quiz. I stopped at #19 due to too many wrong answers on behalf of the quiz to be considered a legitimate quiz. I'm sure there are lots of 8th graders believing these answers are true and then actually fail a quiz in a classroom because of it.
Yeah, I stopped at 11, when I saw the US state of Arizoana given as an option, and the correct answer wasn't on the screen.
@@pksracing Yeah, I decided to try again and it was painful. So painful, I discovered that 30 is now 20. No Joke!! #30 question was #20 repeated. It actually went from #29 to #20. No #30 in there anywhere.

Question 11: none of the possibilities apply. If you look at the map you can see that Ohio is just below the most southern part of the Canadian border.
Thank you! Arizona wasn't even spelled correctly, lol.
Yeah, how did they come by Arizona, not that they even spelled it correclty
It's those east ones that get you.
I think what they were trying to ask, but didn't do very well, was which state is lower in latitude than the lowest point in Canada. That would be Arizona.
Arizo[a]na is the only one of the four that is entirely south of Canada's most southerly point.
Ha! I got question #20 right BOTH times it was asked.
I can see that many here have written about the obvious mistakes like the Himalayas being longer than the Andes, but it doesn't look like anyone noted the mistake in the island question.
Switzerland is of course not an island, but neither is the United Kingdom. The largest of the British Isles is Great Britain (with England, Wales and Scotland), but the United Kingdom is not only that island, it includes a lot of smaller islands as well. It's common to mix up GB and UK , but not in a graded school test.
I would have protested if one of my teachers ever came up with something like this.
GB is England Scotland and Wales, the UK adds Northern Ireland to those three though I suppose you could say it has a land border with the rest of Ireland so it isn't an island itself. While they all have smaller islands they are all none the less...islands.
Ireland is not an island either ... it's most of an island.
@@MartinInBC
No, Ireland is an island.
@@PadJon Including northern Ireland which is in the UK
If there was only GB, it would be an island right??
Great job of spelling. Could you pass a fifth grade spelling quiz?

How the hell do you have a land-locked harbor? All those bridges in SF pass over water, y'know.
Ever been to San Francisco, or looked it up on Google?
@@nancystowell4877 Ever seen the Golden Gate Bridge? Goes out to the Pacific. Hardly landlocked!
This was the first question that told me that the author of the quiz knew nothing of eight grade geography and very little of actual geography. I quit in disgust at this point.
@@billharm6006 This guy failed Grade 7 geography and quit it altogether in Grade 8!
Wouldn’t a landlocked harbor be called a lake?
A good start would be to definitely correct a lot of the spelling inaccuracies!
Good quiz. I like the format.
Some areas to be addressed. Q.5: The longest range is not the Himalayas, 2,400km but the Andes, 7,000km. The longest range is actually the mid-ocean ridge spanning 65,000km around the globe; 90% is underwater. Q.10: It is Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay and Tampa Bay. Q. 11: It should be Ohio. Q. 21: it would be better written as which is Not an island nation as New Zealand especially but also the UK have more than one large island. Q. 26: According to the UN, there are 49 counties in Asia. Q. 30: Mislabelled as #20.
I write quizzes, and I always double-check all answers, and I try to get the correct answer from the most reliable source, e.g. the number of countries from the UN. Always check the spelling from a direct source. Keep up the excellent work.
it's Puget sound not whatever they spelled
Q11, poorly worded but they mean latitude. take the lowest latitude point in canada. which state is below that latitude. Arizona is the only state listed that is completely below that point of latitude. Arizona is correct but written badly
@@barrybrideaux2919 what?
@@daddywoofdawg what don’t you understand.
Question 11 is trying to ask Canada’s southernmost point is at 41.7258° N. what state listed in the choices is south of 41.7258° N. Arizona most northern point is at the 37 N, New York, Maine, and Illinois, all have parts farther north than 41.7 N
According to what I could find, the Himalayas don't even make it into the top four longest mountain ranges. The Himalayan Range is only about 1500 miles long. The shortest of the top four is 2200 miles. Somebody didn't do their homework, but there always anomalies in these things. There was a science one the other day that had a lot of wrong answers, and a science teacher tore it apart in the comments.
Wonderful.
Just a polite corrigendum :
The Highest Ranges lie in the Himalayan Chain.
The Longest Mtn.Range is the Andes, forming the Western backbone of the Entire S American Continent.
The question was LONGEST not Highest and the Andies are the Longest
@notsosilentmajority1 Question #11 does NOT ask: Which state is 'South' of... it asks which state is 'below'. Below means: 1. at a lower level or layer than. "just below the pocket was a stain" 2. extending underneath. "the tunnel below the crags". Therefore 'below' refers to elevation, NOT latitude. Since none of the 4 responses reside fully 'below' Middle Island, as worded, there is no correct response to question #11. Lake Erie, home to 'Canada's southern most point', the tiny Middle Island, has mean surface elevation of +/- 570 feet above sea level. AZ's lowest point is in the Gila Valley, & it is +/- 900 feet asl. AZ is the 'highest'' of all four responses with a mean elevation of +/- 4,100 feet asl. While PARTS of NY, ME [sea level] & IN [the Ohio River in Posey County at +/- 320 feet asl] are 'below' Middle Island, the vast majority of these three are well 'above' Lake Erie. NY's mean elevation is +/- 1,000 feet, IN's is +/- 760 feet & ME's is +/-600 feet asl. Question #11 is a complete paradox.
The Amazon is about 60 km longer than the Nile. This was discovered about fifteen years ago through satellite mapping. Since I live in the Andes , I must say that was also incorrect.
again i agree over the last 20 years they have discovered more of the amazon and its now accepted as the longest
There are more than 24 time zones. there are 2 extra ones in australia alone. South australia and the Northern territory are in 30 minute zones and in the southern summer SA moves 1 hour foreward while the NT doesn't.
I accept that 8th graders in the USA could not be expected to know this.
Yeah, there’s 38 time zones based on utc designations
Newfoundland has it’s own time zone.

@@manfredmann2766 Yep.
This brings back memories... almost every geography quiz I remember from school had wrong, misspelled or misleading questions on it. I simply had to hassle the teacher about them. Most of those teachers were pretty nice about it and seemed to enjoy the contentions.
They were covering how dumb they were.
They shouldn't be teaching misinformation, to begin with.
Maybe that's why I never had friends who were, met people in the pub or worked with people who knew, someone who was a geographer...even on campus, never heard the word mentioned. Arcane craft.
I had a history teacher in junior year that insisted that the German U-Boats that prowled off the Jersey coast during WWII had 16" guns on them! I contested that, telling him that 16" guns were as big as the biggest cannons that were on U.S. Iowa Class battleships and would be almost as long as the Nazi subs, so it would be impossible. He was a cranky curmudgeon and responded that I didn't know what I was talking about. As history was my first class of the day, next morning I got into class before him and drew a picture of a sub with a cannon on it longer than the sub across all three blackboards in the front of the classroom. When he came in from having his first cig of the day, he took one look at my masterpiece and then scowled at everybody in the class; while nobody said a thing, but the room was filled with chuckling and giggling while he erased the boards, grumbling the whole time!
First, Uncle Dwight is right. Disregarding the misspelling, Arizona is NOT below the southernmost point in Canada; it is over a thousand miles West of being below it. Illinois is hundreds of miles West of being below it. For your answer to be correct the question would have to be "Which state, in its entirety, lies farther South than Canada's southernmost point.
Second, none of the harbors you listed (#10) is landlocked; they ALL open into the ocean. If your definition of a landlocked harbor were correct, then all the harbors of the Mediterranean would have to be so classified. The harbors on the Great Lakes are landlocked.
Third, # 20 (@ 6:44) is not a question; it is a phrase with a question mark inappropriately placed at the end of it.
Fourth, while it is true that on average you enter a new time zone (#18) for every 15 degrees you travel East (or West) which would make a total of 24 when you get back to your starting point, there are in fact many more than 24 time zones in the world. Some countries in the southern hemisphere have a version of Daylight Savings Time. Some countries offset their zone(s) by a half-hour or forty-five minutes for a variety of reasons. Antarctica is a whole different case. Check this link:
24timezones.com/time-zones
Fifth, question #21 is poorly worded. Countries A, B, and C are not islands; they are ON islands. Each of them has many little islands in its territory. New Zealand occupies two main islands; the United Kingdom occupies all of one main island and part of another. Ireland occupies most of one main island (Hibernia). The question could have been correctly worded if it ended with the word 'nation'. Only Switzerland of the four is not an island nation.
Sixth, you have two questions numbered 20; one is @6:40, and the other is @10:05. The one @10:05 is the same question as #19 @ 6:22. But the correct answer is "None". No one time zone covers the Atlantic Coast, because you have not specified the country you presumably had in mind, the United States. Part of Canada's coast is in an earlier time zone, and Greenland, Iceland, South America, Europe, and Africa all have Atlantic coastlines.
After getting 25/30 3 months ago, I just retook the test and scored 29/30. At age 78 I guess I'm still not too old to remember which is kind of funny because sometimes I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

I got almost all of them correct, but there are problems with some of the answers. Also, some spelling errors.
Question 5 seems to be incorrect you say it the Himalayas but the longest mountain range is the mid ocean ridge at 40,389 miles .
Ummm... its only 24,000 miles around the earth. Does the range go around twice? Try about 10,000 miles.
@@rogertroja4400 i don't know never been down there to see it .
Whoever made this quiz and video needs to do it all over again but without errors.
Fun quiz but as others pointed out a few issues. I will add that recently there is a debate on the longest rivers, as the source of the Amazon has been changed. However, it is debated, not fact. Nile still wins so far. But great fun to take. Thanks for sharing.
I spelled Arizona wrong my whole life.
you lost me at himalayas being the longest mountain range
Longest river in the world is very debatable. First, a new "source" of the Amazon was "discovered" that increases its length. On top of that, there's debate on the source of the Nile and it is also dependent on how you count length. You run into similar issues with coastline...how itxs measured matters. Then there's the issue of lakes. Is the lake the source or do you count the streams into said lake? Do how do you measure through the lake? These actually matter enough to make them switch back and forth for title. The Yangtze and Mississippi River system are really close too. The top 4 rivers are all within a out 100 miles of each other, slightly above or below 4,000 miles

@@twilanorton6313 yes, I think that was an autocorrect error. I fixed it.
It's all good, just having a bit of fun with you. We're only human.
I started out having missed 16, but as I read through comments and replies I see that I actually only missed 11. I am not so knowledgeable about geography so thank you fellow quiz takers!!
Same here!
I thought i missed 10 but as I read through the comments and replies, (and actually commented/replied) I see that I actually missed only 8. I'm just starting grade 3.
Re a 18: since India’s time zone is not standard (GMT-5.5), that means at least 25.
And I would count #1 as geography, exactly.
Add in Central Australia time and you get 26. I think there are some others.
Missed three, but I was taught the Andes was the longest range.
Largest is andes
Longest is our Himalaya only
@@letslearnwithjosh8027 No! Longest is The Andes.
znam
Now that I see other people complaining about wrong answers I don't feel like I'm losing my mind. I had to check a few of these out cuz even though I was in elementary school of really really long time ago I was pretty sure the Amazon was the longest river in the world and the Andes was the longest mountain chain on land. In googling the answers to these I did get reminded that technically the longest mountain range is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. You can't forget about those underwater mountain ranges. And although they didn't mention it you could probably consider the Gulf stream the longest river in the ocean. That question where Arizona was the answer was totally nuts cuz I didn't get that. I think some were very poorly worded which made them hard. Perhaps the publisher of this quiz should take a class on question writing.
I’m glad , people do this , I’m also glad people are smart enough to call out , discrepancies , there is no ban in learning or knowledge
Question #1 is not a geography question, neither is #6. Arizona is spelled very wrong, and any question about time zones is not really a geography question.
18/20,...nice quiz, only I believe question 20 was identical to a previous question concerning the eastern time zone...
So, it’s not just me?

Hi! I just popped over the boarder to do a little shopping in Arizona. It was snowing here in Canada and the warm weather over the boarder is always so refreshing.
The last question is an American question. In Canada the Atlantic Coast is covered by "Atlantic Time Zone."
Most of the questions were not from 8th Geography .
Because I got an "F" in math,,,, I scored pretty high!
I thought I was the only one - there were too many questions that weren't geography questions, too many wrong answers provided, and I find that worrisome.
25/30! Feeling confident for 8th grade, geography has always been my favorite subject!! Three years to go, I'm in 5th rn lol!
Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 20 out of 30 thanks for the opportunity ...
I missed 6, but at least two of the answers are incorrect, and several aren't geography.
OK here is my score 27 correct, 1 definitely wrong. However I dispute your answers to Q5 - the Andies is the longest mountain range according to a number of sources. Q11 - the most southerly point of Canada - either Illonios or New York but not Arizona. Happy to hear your reasoning . Cheers
Since I'm not American but South African, and had Geography until grade 12 (last year of High School, similar to your College second year) its quite nice to know I only got the time zone and state questions wrong.
Question 8? What? Arizona being the state below Canada's southern most point? That's completely wrong. Arizona is a southern state of the USA bordering Mexico and doesn't even share a border with Canada. In fact there a 3 more states in line above Arizona before you get to Canada. The southern most part of Canada would be around Windsor, Ontario which is close to Detroit, Michegan.
The question was poorly worded. It should have said something like: "Which of these states is located entirely below Canada's southern most point?"
The Question asked nothing about a State BORDERING Canada's southern border. The other 3 States all have northern points in their State which is further north than the southern most point in Canada. As a note:. There are 26 States which have a point further north than the southern mist point in Canada. Which is in the middle of Lake Ontario (I guess it is).

It is Q # 11 in the quiz I took. The southernmost point in Canada is Pt. Pelee/Pelee Island which is in eastern Canada. Arizona is far to the west. Correct answers could be Ohio, Florida and the states in between the two.
Well, this rusty person got half right. Need to brush up on one of my favorite pass times geography. Thank you for a great quiz.16/30.
You probably got a lot more geography questions correct than you thought. 🤣Their answers needed brushing up on.
16/30
Considering there were mistakes in some of the questions, I scored 25 correct. I used to compile quizzes for weekly contests and quickly learned the importance of giving accurate information for the quiz otherwise one loses credibility. I'm just saying too!
"Arizoana" is now a US state. Guess I did learn something from your quiz. Thanks!!!
yes and his "vides" are fire 🔥🔥
I think a 7th grader must have prepared this test
Got good knowledge Thanks
Unfortunately, many schools do not teach geography any more. I'm so glad this is available.
Thank you. That was a fun exercise. Good to think and remember.
Appreciate your efforts.
I got 35, which is alot better than what i got for my maths test.
Good one! 35 out of 30
😂very funny.
#5’s incorrect answer was where I ended this video.
same
Hummm??? I was wondering about that answer myself. Let me research it. I thought it was The Andes. Also The Nile is not the longest river in the World, The Amazon is.
Got most. Never heard of Arizoana, didn't see Q30 but got Q20 correct twice, can't see how the Himalayas are longer than the Andes.
I didn't know Arizona bordered Canada , mind you I'm not American but hey ho , you learn something new every day ! .
Man, someone needs to check their work before putting it out there!
Disclaimer, 90% of all of these answers are wrong lol
the only time getting 100 percent is embarrasing
wait, seriously? how come 90% of these answers are wrong?
*awkward*
Disclaimer: 90% of all these answers are Correct, Pshh LoL
Many of them are not entirely correct, for example, Ireland the country is not the entire island. It would have been better to say on an island.
@@TomCee53 Ireland is the name of whole Island made up of Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and The Republic of Ireland (is not part of the UK). The United Kingdom however includes Northern Ireland and is therefore cannot logically be an Ireland. The part of the UK that could be described as an island is that comprised of England, Scotland and Wales and is referred to as Great Britain not the United Kingdom.
Not sure about latitude running from east to west, though certainly _equal_ latitude does. I think question was ambiguous.
There’s a lot of discussion about q#11.
You have to read the question correctly. Put another way “Of the 4 answers given, which one is south of the farthest south point of Canada.” New York, Illinois and Maine all have part of the state above the southern most point of Canada.
thanks you have made me know more of geography than i expected
I guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
number 5 is incorrect
Thank you!!!
So, I am an 8th grader, and I have learned very few of these in school. Although I did do pretty well in this quiz because I am interested in geography and knew some of the answers from my own research.
I must have skipped 8th grade. Nothing here was taught that I recall. If it was then I was in an another parallel Universe.
Oooh, that was brutal,lol. It's back to class for me! Thinking I got 10 right, but several I just took a guess. Thanks for the upload! Never too late to learn new things.
No...this test was wildly inaccurate...you probably were correct in every "mistake" you made.

@@leslauner5062 Thanks!
The Andes is the longest mountain range, not the Himalayas
That's what I said? Thank you
Thank God I'd make it through eighth grade again. The older I get the more I forget questions like these and I start to worry :)
I got four answers wrong??? On checking up on this dumb quiz I found I was actually 100% correct on every question. Plus, Ive never heard of Arizoana before 😆
Please insert the indefinite article “an” before “8th grader”. I can tell the writer doesn’t speak English as his/her native language but you should be able to write English at at least a 3rd grade level before writing 8th grade “science” and geography tests.
Latitude do not runs from east to west, it runs from west to east.
Your option is wrong
You're right, it's wrong
Your latitude depends on your location, that is if you are east or west of the Greenwich meridian.
@@JohnJones-cp4wh no, that is longitude.
Latitude is number of degrees (and minutes, seconds etc) north or south of the equator that a location is at.
#29, obviously written by an ESL writer. The Panama Canal still CONNECTS the Atlantic & Pacific oceans.
I have been through the Panama Canal, in both directions. The canal connects the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea. A distance of 1,279 miles remains before a ship will reach the Atlantic Ocean. Check. It. Out.
Quizzes like this explain why Americans are so misinformed about world geography and English grammar
Doesn't the Panama Canal join the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea? You have to get past Puerto Rico to reach the Atlantic Ocean. I think Drake Passage might be a better answer.
I answered 22/30, including #19 and the thirtieth question, labeled #20. They are the exact same question, only the letters corresponding to eastern time and central time are different.
Re: Question 30, in Canada, we also have the Atlantic (UTC - 4:00) and Newfoundland (UTC - 3:30) Time Zones along the Atlantic coast.
That question kinda bugged me as well. The Atlantic coast also includes Europe and Africa.
Too many questions regard the world's 4th largest country.
New Zealand and the United Kingdom are not an island, but several island. Ireland is not an island, but part of an island, indeed it shares the island with the United Kingdom.
All three have off shore islands.
@@Oobido The island of Ireland is split between 2 countries. There is no water between the United Kingdom and the Irieh Republic, as there is a land border. Ulster (aka Northern Ireland) is part of the UK.
@@Oobido Your ignorance is stupendous. It would be very entertaining to watch the reaction you would get if you wandered around Belfast or Larne declaring that Northern Ireland is not part of the UK and "separated from it on all 4 sides by watter" 😂😂😂
If you're LUCKY you'd make the population laugh at you but you might very well make some people very angry!
@@Oobido I'll apologise for the misquote (unfortunately when typing a response on my phone it is not possible to see the post I am replying to) as you said NI is not "connected to the UK" and "separated from the UK' rather than "part of" as I mistakenly wrote.
Nevertheless, your statements cause confusion, as they both imply that UK and NI are different entities, which is false and that assertion WOULD attract a hostile response from many inhabitants of the 6 counties.
I didn't understand what the first question was asking. What does a country "responsible" for the largest share of US exports mean? Does it mean they provide raw material for US exports or does it mean they consume the most US exports? A lot of countries sell things to the US that are then used in US products that are exported. Then there is the issue of a lot of US products such as Iphones and automobiles that are produced in other countries. I find it hard to believe that Canada's small population buys more finished goods than larger nations.
I need to retake 8th grade. Girls were cute back then anyways.
17. I'd forgotten Portugese is the first language in Brazil!
Retaken - 19. 🙂
1) Southernmost point in Canada is Middle Island in Lake Erie, and the state immediately south of it is Ohio; 2) Longest mountain range is Andes (4,700mi), Rockies 3rd (3,000mi) while Himalayas are a distant #6 (1,600mi); 3) Q20 appears (for a 2nd time) in the spot for Q30; 4) several spelling errors need correction.....but it was a fun exercise. Thanks!!
Love this very much at 70 sharpens my brain. Thank you
I got them all right even the ones that were wrong. I gave myself an A. Be kind to yourself you deserve it.
I was going to use this for homeschool. Glad I watched it first, this is riddled with errors. Please proofread your material.
