Well, I wanted to post Hump Day Trivia sooner, but you know the DDOS attack they’ve been talking about on the main page, as well as the filter problems? I was one of those whose access was denied. Anyways, better late than never I suppose. Here are the rules: I’ll give five questions in each of three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, and Hard). Each question is worth a set point value. Your goal is to use any combination of questions to get to ten points. I’ll declare the person with the most points the winner. If more than one person gets 10 points, I’ll go with the person who uses the “hardest” combination (So try to answer the Hard questions). Today’s theme is The Earth. Good luck!

Easy (1 Point Each)

1. What is the name given to the Earth’s hard outer shell?

2. Which science studies the history, structure, and composition of the Earth?

3. What does the Richter scale measure (I’m looking for the simple answer here)?

4. Does a stalagmite point up or down?

5. What is a barometer?

Medium (2 Points Each)

1. What do we call a shallow depression at the top of a volcanic cone?

2. What is the Norwegian word for a long, deep sea inlet gouged out by a glacier?

3. Which gas is the major constituent of ordinary air?

4. What approximate percentage of the atmosphere is composed of oxygen?

5. Which metal, frequently used in jewelry, is more valuable than gold?

Hard (3 Points Each)

1. Name the lines on a weather map that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure.

2. Which is the world’s largest island?

3. Which island lies off the southern tip of India?

4. Which period in prehistory saw the disappearance of the dinosaurs?

5. Which South American volcano erupted in 1985, killing over 20,000 people?

Please hurry with this one, as I want to update again on Friday, and once I update, I know people won’t take this quiz anymore. Tomorrow, I’m going with my parents and Laura to the fireworks show at Fort Meigs (which was used during the War of 1812 and is now a historical landmark). Now, I’ll post more of the huge quiz (which I got from fatkid1000p, by the way) and some other quiz results:
