Earth is an immensely vast place, home to 8 billion people and almost 200 countries. Earth's geography is incredibly varied, and it is full of color too. It features the blues of the oceans to the greens of the forests and the browns of the deserts. Landmasses come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be found in different colors due to the different types of vegetation found in each region. Islands are typically surrounded by bodies of water, such as oceans and seas, and each body of water has its own color depending on its depth and salinity. Additionally, rivers, lakes and streams of various sizes can be found within each landmass and island, adding more color to the landscape. The colors of the planet are a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
Our little, blue planet is actually more like a big, colorful encyclopedia of knowledge just waiting to be discovered. This quiz will feature multiple "colorful" places around the planet. It is made for the knowledge buffs, those who love the act of learning so much that it transcends subject matter. Take up the challenge and try to pass it with flying colors!
