You might want to hang out on Wikipedia a bit.  These were hard questions, true, but you have much to learn.

The Earth is an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles, and it's a hell of a lot flatter than the Earth's orbit, which is nearly a circle in comparison.  Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark, is very large, but its size is exaggerated on world maps centered on the Equator, generally (depending on the projection, of course), because the Earth is too curved to be faithfully flattened onto a piece of paper.  Svalbard (those islands north of Norway) is pretty small, but it looks huge on maps for this reason.

If ocean ice melts, the sea level stays exactly the same!  If Greenland ice melts and falls into the ocean, though, the sea level will rise.  In the Northern summer, by the way, the sun rises in the northeast.  Seriously.  You can do the vector calculus to prove it to yourself -- you may think it's in the southeast, but it isn't!  Also, Lebanon is famous for its cedars, and it has no desert.  And in Argentina, you're in the southern hemisphere, so the Coriolis "force" will push you to the left.

The Seal of Montana actually says "Oro y Plata" on it, meaning "Gold and Silver".  In Spanish!  And the Coat of Arms of Puerto Rico has a very cute white puppy on it that is actually supposed to be a lamb.  The flag of Libya is actually, in real life, just a green rectangle.  Creative!

Believe it or not, the stratosphere is actually coldest at the bottom.  The temperature goes down as you go up until you hit the stratosphere, and then it starts to increase!  Rio de Janeiro is in the state of Rio de Janeiro, much like New York, though the state used to be called Guanabara many decades ago.  The orbit of Mars is OUTSIDE that of the Earth, so you will NEVER have that kind of eclipse!  It happens with Venus and Mercury with some regularity (on the order of a year, I think).

There are liquid water clouds and ice clouds, but not water vapor.  The fluffy white clouds you see are actually liquid water!  The strongest current system is actually in the Southern Ocean, and it just goes unimpeded around Antarctica, insulating it from the rest of the world and keeping it very cold, so we're unlikely to see much melting there for a while (though it is happening in some parts).  South America has mostly Spanish-speaking countries, but they're all small compared to Brazil, which speaks Portuguese and therefore causes that language to edge out Spanish.  Guyana speaks English, but it's tiny, and Tupi is a native Brazilian language, but not a majority one.

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the mountains, to the north -- the plains are actually rather dry!  Okinawa is a little island pretty far southwest of the larger islands of Japan, and it's slightly closer to Taiwan than to those larger islands.  And in the last question, Mount Olympus was specifically referring to Olympus Mons, in the Tharsis Bulge.  In MARS, which is why it's not really geography.

Thanks for taking the test!
