54/60 this evening and a nice amount of questions. I tend to find the 100 question ones a bit too long for concentration reasons. Thanks for uploading and taking the time Ben 😮.
13:40 "Let's hope another one is not due soon" -- another one is happening right now! Current extinction rates are even higher than during most other mass extinctions, in fact.
49/60 : Not good 😢 , Incorrect ones were 4,7,10,13,19,24,26,35,41,44,53 . And ironically .. Forgot what the bonus was at the end .. lol I HATE getting old .. lol
My Dad used to say, when hauling himself out of an armchair, after a few strokes, aching and slow, 'Well, better here than the other place!' .... He is in 'the other place' now.
I was about to say that it would be nice to be able to see the questions and answers after the quiz was over, and then I noticed the transcript was an option that did exactly that. Thank you for that. No test you can't learn from is worth anything. Turns out that although I felt rushed on some, I only got two wrong -the one on Mercury - I was thinking orbit, not planet average distance, and the one on the number of tectonic plates - I was sure it was more than 7. It's a real challenge at 1.5x speed. Good tests - they keep you on your feet. At 79 years old, that's where I want to be!
Your question about the cause of ocean tides is slightly wrong. The gravity of the sun and moon cause the bulges in sea water level. The rotation of the Earth causes the level at a given point on Earth to go up and down. The bulges stay roughly fixed relative to the sun and moon. Earth's rotation moves a point on the surface through the deeper and shallower bulges. The correct answer is both the gravity of the Sun and Moon and rotation of the Earth cause tides. If the Earth did not rotate the bulges in sea level would still be there, but the water level would not go up and down twice per day. Yes, It could be argued that it would still go up and down twice a month, but changing the rotation answer choice to something else could avoid this possible confusion.
One reason I like your quizzes is that I ever never seen any mistakes. You probably know that many others have mistakes and many mispronunciations. I saw one recently that said that Amundsen was the first to reach both the North and South Poles
46/60 Lake Baikal. Had to go to the transcript for the correct spelling even though it was an answer in another question. Lol. Super quiz today,Ben. I did better than I thought. Really enjoyed it. Tysmfs. Have a pleasant weekend. 👍🌍🌎🌏✌️

Just so you know, 'further' is used when describing anything besides distance, as in " she wished to further her goals." ' Farther' is used when describing distance: "The Moon is getting farther away..." Also, the word 'moon' is capitalized when talking about Earth's moon specifically, as I've done in the previous sentence; I've used the more general case in this sentence (not capitalized).
Hi. Thanks for commenting. Let me explain, just so you know. I'm English, and in English both further and farther can be used to describe distance. The most commonly used in English is further. In fact farther is very rarely used. Across the pond in American English, you are correct, farther should be used. Seeing as I'm not an American, I will stick to the English way of saying it. Thanks. 😁 Here's an interesting article on it langblog.englishplus.com/?p=207
In classic English, you are correct. You explain further. You travel farther. But the words have come to be interchangeable in modern use. English is evolving, some would say becoming bastardized. I, for one. Hell, I hear nuclear scientists these days say "nucular".
Thanks for commenting. Let me share some references "This bulge exists because of a force created by Earth's rotation. www.astronomy.com/science/earths-equatorial-bulge-shapes-the-planets-physics/ and education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/equator/
North America is a subcontinent NOT a continent. The continent as a whole includes: South America, Central America and the Caribbean Islands, North America and all of the US territories. All of these countries together are known as AMERICA.
America is the continent. including Noth Central and South America. and what is the meaning of Central America? well, the central part of America. Not the united states.
Good quiz, but you can’t measure a mountain’s height from its base to its highest peak, height is a vertical measurement. The correct answer would be Mount Everest. 11:26
But when the question states how a measurement is going to specifically done, doesn't that negate any other form of measurement, even if that's not the most common way that measurement is done?
What he meant was that some mountains' bases can be under the ocean, i.e. the mountain starts a few kilometers down there on the ocean floor and then breaches the surface and goes up and up. In this case Mauna Kea is the highest. And Everest is actually even smaller, because its base is elevated by a significant amount and if we count from base to the summit, it will be way less than 8848 m.. Now, if we measure height as "meters above sea level" (which is a standard in geography), then Everest is the highest.
Shit! the moon is moving further away, so it is going to cost us more energy, time and money to go there again. Or we just leave it and try mars. Hopefully that one is moving closer, but not on a frontal collision path.
Thanks for commenting. No it's not. The moon orbits the Earth, so the Earth cannot be the one that's moving further away. Here's some references on it www.livescience.com/space/the-moon/will-earth-ever-lose-its-moon and www.space.com/moon-drifting-away-from-earth-2-5-billion-years
@@barney6888 In English both can be used, and further is the preferred one in English. In American English farther is correct, but seeing as I'm English I will stick to the English one.
@@Quizzes4U I'm Canadian and don't like to use the American version of English. Further should be "in addition to" and farther is an increased distance. Doesn't matter now because I bungled the first post anyway.
Please do not use "miles" it is not an internationally used thing... I made 5 mistakes, I thought Venus was the same size as Earth.. And the miles thing is confusing.. Now you do the quiz in Dutch, fair is fair... Or German if you can't speak proper Dutch. And the bonus I knew too.
But he is English, and he did the quiz in English! Most people know the British use Imperial measures rather than metrics. But nowadays most Brits are educated in both imperial and metrics and should be able to convert one to another quite easily. However, imperial measures would still be the first thing that most old schoolers go to. To tell these old schoolers to use metrics is similar to telling them to speak another language!
Hey, not so much of the ‘old-schoolers’ please - although, as I’m 76 & did all my schooling in imperial (including chains, furlongs, rods, poles & perches), the term is appropriate really. Working in a bank on the day our money went metric was a thing of nightmares.
Your answer to question 10 is flat out wrong. Venus is the closest with an average distance of 0.28 AU. Mars is next at 0.5 AU and Mercury is actually furthest away of the three at 0.61 AU.
Thanks for commenting. Let me explain. I know this question is correct as I have extensively researched it. Although Venus passes the closest to Earth, it is often at the opposite side the sun to Earth on its orbit. Mercury, which orbits faster is more often closer to us, and therefore calculated as closer on average. Here are some articles that explain it better than I can. pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/online/30593/Venus-is-not-Earth-s-closest-neighbor and www.popularmechanics.com/space/solar-system/a26839314/closest-planet-to-earth-on-average/ and www.sciencefocus.com/space/what-is-the-closest-planet-to-earth
@@Quizzes4U I had a look at that article in Physics Today and it seems that my old Astronomy textbook (which I checked before shouting at you) is wrong. I just assumed that the planets hadn't changed since it was written (other than Pluto being demoted). But it seems our way of calculating average distance has. Fair enough.
@@Quizzes4U This was not a good question, it is badly formulated. I actually assumed first that "closest" means likeness: size, mass, etc. Also "on average" for you means "how many times it comes close to us" and for me it would be average between the closest and the farthest distance from Earth. Too many interpretations are possible ). Please exclude this from any further quizzes, or change the question to make it unambiguous.
@@_Diana_S thanks for commenting. However I disagree. It is worded exactly right. If I had meant closest in size I would have written that, plus the on average part should indicate that it does not mean size. Average distance is not open to interpretation, it is a calculation. Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. 😁😁
