9/10 for me as well !!! Orogeny got me, but gave me the opportunity to look out the origin of the
word : from the Greek "oros" mountain and "genesis" generation ! Never too late to learn anything
new (I'm 85 yrs old ...) . Greetings to all fans of Geography !! 😉
That one got me too... I chose the gold creation answer because "oro" means gold in Spanish.
Spoiler alert, thanks mate!
That was the only one I missed too.
Steve Rennie Same here 🙂
same here, but a bunch of these questions had nothing to do with geography.
I missed one, Grrrrr!!!! "Orogeny". I have never seen nor heard that word before on my life!!
Ditto! One more thing we can remove from our bucket lists! 🤪
9 out of 10, I missed orogeny , never heard of that!
I wouldn't have known the answer either and I only knew it because I speak Greek and oros means mountain in Greek.
Hmm..had to expresso delve into the memory vault to break it down & boom.. out pops "Orogenisis" random fluke...
Checkout the sound a Tui bird makes...
Same here. It's the only question I didn't answer correctly.
9/10 - the orogeny got me! Great quiz.
Same here.
The quiz was as much geography as it was geology. 9/10
9/10 - didn't know the mountain one, orogeny(sp). Thought it was the formation of gold because of the "or" at the beginning of the word. Took a guess, was wrong!
Me too! "Oro" Spanish for gold.
Me too. The rest were easy enough.
Same here.
Me as well (oro meaning gold) - also missed Corsica - thought it was Greek.
Yes, it's very easy to take "oro" for gold, since it is
"oro" in Spanish and "or" in French; in fact , it is
a fake clue, because in French some words about gold will start with the Latin "aurum" , while in Greek "oros" is for mountain !!! The confusion comes when we say it out loud, it sounds more or less similar. I am not the only one to have fallen into the trap !!
😃😃P.S. I hope that my explanations are clear enough, as I am French speaking it is not
always easy to communicate in writing exactly what I mean and do it right.
7/10 - learnt a couple of new things today.
8 out of 10. Oro made me think of gold.
Oros means mountain in modern Greek. I had never seen this word before however.
9 out of 10. Did not know the Orogeny question, but I think that is more of a geology question than a geography question.
10/10 A short, fun quiz!
Superb! 😄
9/10...although is the orogeny question geography or geology??
10 - medium difficulty - Orogeny was deciphered via remembering orographic rainfall - hence mountains.
Ditto.
9/10 I missed orogeny too. Thought it must be gold!
Difficult quiz. Thank you for the challenge. These quizzes are helping me to learn more geography.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the quiz and that you may have learned from it. Thank for your for comment :)
@@quiznook Thank you 😊
@@quiznook most questions were good. A couple of them were Geology questions as opposed to geography questions... The difference may seem small to you, but to me its a big difference.
@@steverennie5787 Geography, where it's at. Geology, what it is.
@@spikespa5208 exactly... two different things
9/10. Orogeny as well ...
10/10 -- had trouble only with the phantom island and got that right as an educated guess; the rest I answered before the choices even appeared. To reply to several others: yes, orogeny is physical geography. It's geology as well; nothing says something has to be limited to just one branch of science!
Very easy but a good quiz
7/10 Balineese (which isn't a true geography Question), Orogeny, and phantom island got me.
Yeahhh! 😁
Me too - 9/10. Never heard of orogeny either.
8/10 is not bad! I supprised my self!
10/10, but only because it was multiple choice. Without the choices offered, I would have had 6 or 7 out of 10. Most multiple choice questions go something like this: What is the capital of Russia A. 325; B. Tiger; C. Atlantic Ocean; D. Moscow; E Henry the VIII. I learned really early how to pass almost any multiple choice test.
8. Not bad for a more challenging quiz.
Orogeny...missed it. Sounds more like a GEOLOGY QUESTION though.
Oros in Greek means Mountain 🤣
Missed it also
Number 4 is a tricky suckka. Oro is gold in Spanish.
Missed that one too, sometimes being bilingual works against you, Oro is the Spanish word for gold, so I switched from the formation of mountains to the formation of gold deposits.🤷♂️
@@tonyl4438 The formation of gold deposit is "auriferous; in the quizz, the prefix "oro" was the trap ... but IMHO it belongs more to
Geology rather than Geography, the link is tenuous !! (I'm bilingual as well , even trilingual but it did not help much) !! 😉
one wrong orogeny , thought it had something to do with folding paper .
lol!
3 wrong. I will try harder next time
7 right 3 wrong. Good quiz.
8 out of 10. Relatively easy!
6/ 10, I LEARNED something NEW. THANKS.
7 out of should have been better. Liked it very much.
9 correct out of 10 . orogeny got me good quiz
Excellent score! Orogeny was a tricky one hehe. Glad you enjoyed the quiz, thanks for playing!
8/10. It had some good challenging qustions.
10/10. Good quiz!
8/10 better than I thought I would do.
pretty easy for a canadian
9/10 i missed one
9/10 phantom got me
9/10... The Orogeny got me too...
Probably cause figured the Oro was short for ore. Trick question... 😉
I got 5 out of 10 which makes it pretty hard, however orogeny is the primary mechanism by which mountains are formed on continents. That is geology NOT geography. So that's actually 5 out of 9. And the phrase "titillate your psyche" well, that comes under the category "Disturbingly Weird".
I don't know about you, but #6 I just call it bloody cold
10/10 I guessed at orogeny, & I left school 50 years ago too.
Super easy !!!
10/10 But I did guess orogeny
I missed 4. This was a good quiz. The questions were challenging.
I like quizzes I learn from. I love geography too.
10/10 easy Peezy.
I'm stupid!! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.....
medium difficulty. Missed a few that I guessed at. Orogeny got me as well. Went with gold. Oro in spanish
Same here - thought oro was gold.
Got about four right Jason, Hermes, Orpheus, and muses which was a guess!
Got them all again. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
7/10,i think isn,t easy...
Tricky, but I lucked out with 9/10.
8/10 for me
Challenging - in a good way as I learnt a lot . Unfortunately only managed 6 correct and one of those was a guess !
Thank you
9/10, I’ve never heard of orogeny.
10 out of 10 for me but 2 educated guesses on the Orogeny and Penguin questions.
I got 9/10 as well...and it was bloody orogeny that I didn't know too.
9/10 Not too bad for old Grammer School boy of 82 years.
Fairly easy. Missed orogeny. Lucky guess on the fake Island question though.
7/10, challenging, sometime you think you know more than you do or you think you know the answer because you should, lol
got them all
But then I am strange. I was playing Trivial Pursuit and a geography question came up for me and the guy holding the card laughed and said "which 2 states in the USA border the most other states". After a few moments I said Missouri and Tennessee. Then I said they border 8 states and I proceeded to name them. The game ended. I am not from the USA. I have a great memory for maps but terrible at math.
Well im happy i got the mountain question 8/10
9 of 10. Missed orogeny. Good quiz.
8/10 ... Not bad if I do say so myself. Missed the Orogeny and France. I thought Spain once owned Corsica?
What helped for me I knew Napoleon was corsican so it must belong to france
I got them all right although I guessed on the phantom island. The other questions were pretty easy though.
10/10
8 out of 10 ! B !
Didn't know Corsica or mountain forming one and Canadian capitol
Very interesting quiz. Quite difficult.
10/10 wow!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the challenging quiz! I have a degree in geography and teach social studies. However, I still got 9/10, orogeny wrong... Thanks again!
9/10
7/10 Should have gotten Corsica right. Forgot it belongs to France.
Napoleon -- that little Corsican!
In the case of Corsica, history came into it. It's where Napoleon Bonaparte was born.
But he was Italian. He just happened to be born in Corsica right after the French got hold of it.
10/10 easier than most of your quizzes.
Ah I thought this was one was harder but probably not for a scientist ;) Thanks for dropping by and for sharing your thoughts, appreciated!
@@quiznook I read a lot. And I know lots of trivial, obscure facts as a result. 😁
@@quiznook you know, a truly difficult quiz would be one in which you did not have multiple choice, but had to know the answer. Sort of like Jeopardy!.
It was easy but I am a retired History and Geography teacher.
So it was your forte! 👍😀 Thanks for playing!
9 out of 10
Got to get tougher 10/10
I got 9/10 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Never heard of phantom islands. Everything else, easy.
Medium to hard. Good questions
Also 9 out of 10, and learnt about orogeny. Thank you!
10/10 but i had never heard of orogeny and just guessed it from my ancient greek classes
Brilliant! 👏😀 Thanks for playing :)
I only got 3, but most were guesses anyway 😉
I missed that one too. I thought of ORO= GOLD
8/10 good quis thanks-do ju no the capial of Alaska ?
New Zealand, lol We will have New Zealand and you can have Tasmania
I found it very easy
8/10. Missed the answers 'Orogeny' and 'Phantom Island.'
Got themALL🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
All correct, but I had to guess to get Phantom Island right as the element that appeared on maps and then disappeared.
Yeah that one is not really common knowledge, I didn’t even know it was a thing or that it even had a name before I learned of it 😂 Perfect score there, impressive! 👏 👍 Thank you for playing!
10/10- medium difficulty but the clue helped
Easy for once!
Haha wow so you did great! 👍 thanks for dropping by :)
10/10
On my 2nd try
8 out 10
8 out 10 orogeny got me too
easy 10/10
Love geography and I am rather good at it, but orogeny also got me. But 9/10 not bad for a 71-yr old!
8/10: Missed orogeny and phantom island.
Same as me exactly!
Same
Enjoyed learning what I didn't know - Corsica is French, Orogeny has nothing to do with gold, and tundra/taiga.
Indeed those were the tricky ones - and I did not even do that on purpose! "Oro" must've made me think of gold as well when I created the question so I just put it in there as a choice 😅 I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
9/10.. corsica got me.. however IO knoetd their is confusion over what state in australia is not on the mainland... this is confusing.. NEW ZEALAND is actually identified as part of AUSTRALIA in its consitituion! so both Tazmania and New Zealand are states that are not part of Australia's main land! (but that is getting really technical over the OZ constitution!
Missed Orogeny and France.Liked the test.
