* On this and succeeding quizzes, when the number of a question is followed by a hyphen or dash(-), this denotes the easy, repetitive questions about information most students should have acquired by now; especially if it is information coming directly from the "Study Hint Sheet". Some teachers may have their students answer only the questions followed by the hyphen or dash.
** Eight states of the U.S. have Columbia counties. At least 11 states have towns named Columbia, and at least 12 states have towns named Columbus. Have students determine if there is one or the other in your state. Students in Cincinnati, Toledo, Youngstown and Elyria don’t have to

answer this.


*** In July, the Sea Stallion Viking ship with a crew of 65 was re-creating a trip from Denmark to Ireland

taken 1,000 years ago. Google Sea Stallion of Glendalough. Also in July, it was announced that

a father and son in England found one of the biggest Viking treasures ever. The find on January

6, 2007, included coins, jewelry and items from Ireland, France, Russia and Scandinavia that had

been hidden after the year 927. Can you find any reference to this in the British Museum?

this. Students in New Bedford do.


4- Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie. Look at the back of a Michigan quarter. Since Lake Ontario doesn’t touch the state, many people are of the opinion that it shouldn’t be shown. What do you students in Pontiac, Flint, Ann Arbor and Saginaw think? *

New Orleans Rebuild?”, August 2007, pages 32 – 67.


10- Miami

11. New Orleans

12. Boston(N.E.) Patriots
13. Cape Hatteras is part of the Outer Banks that extend for 30 miles from the North Carolina shore. These shoals and chain of islands are very dangerous to ships. Lighthouses and other offshore lights warn ships away. This is part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Dangerous winds, treacherous currents, shallow waters have all combined to cause more than 500 ships to sink

here. The ironclad, the Monitor, sank somewhere off Hatteras. A native of the Outer Banks said, "The sea at Hatteras is enigmatic and sometimes seemingly sorcerous, a place where winds and currents stir the ghosts of time." Discuss the Outer Banks being a great vacation destination. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, “Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Makes Tracks”, May 2000, page 98


NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, “North Carolina’s Outer Banks”, October 1987, pages

484 - 513. Did you get to the Outer Banks this year, Mr. Eck?

* H-O-M-E-S is an acronym to remember the names of the Great Lakes. Four lakes have a common border with Canada. Lake Michigan does not. SGS

Lake Superior, 1,333 ft. deep, is the largest body of fresh water in the world.

Lake Michigan, 923 ft. deep, is the only one wholly within the U.S.

Lake Ontario, 802 ft. deep, is the smallest.

Lake Huron, 750 ft. deep.

Lake Erie, 210 ft. deep, has its waters plunge 193 ft. over Niagara Falls to feed Lake Ontario. Ships get around Niagara Falls by going through the 27 mile Welland Canal.
Lake Erie is 326 ft. higher than Lake Ontario, so eight locks take ships from one lake to the other.
Is this trivia or facts you need? Lake Huron is the second-largest in area, but Lake Michigan is second in volume. www.cruisingthegreatlakes.org

You students living in the Great Lakes watershed must be informed about the Great Lakes Water Resource Compact.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, “Down the Drain?-The Incredible Shrinking Great Lakes”, September 2002, pages 34 - 51.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, “The Great Lakes’ Troubled Waters”, July 1987, pages 2 - 31.


Viral hemorrhagic septicemia(VHS), a deadly virus, is killing fish in the St. Lawrence Seaway, Lake Ontario, Lake, Erie and Lake Huron. The virus was unexpectedly found in the Great Lakes in 2005. It causes fish to hemorrhage like the Ebola virus does to humans in Africa.
Did the virus return in May of 2007, when waters warm to the temperature in which the virus thrives?

40-59 degrees. Might get information from: Great Lakes Fish Health Committee


Disease could be catastrophic to a $4.5 billion commercial and sports fishing industry. Scientists are not sure how VHS entered the Great Lakes, but most suspect it was the dumping of water from an international cargo ship.
** On July 4, 2000, the Navy announced the development of a new generation of destroyers, the

DD-21. Thirty-two are to be built, and the first three are to be delivered in 2010. “In appearance, it hearkens back to the USS Monitor--the ironclad ‘cheesebox on a raft’ of the Civil War.” History teachers--see NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, July 2002, pages 82-101, on raising the H.L. Hunley,(Secret Weapon of the Confederacy), a submarine used during the Civil War. www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0207


*** It has been said there is a street in Atlanta where the rainfall that runs down one side of the street

goes to the Atlantic, and the water that runs down the other side goes to the Gulf. Look closely at a map of Atlanta and/or Georgia. From the way the streams flow, it’s easy to see it is on the Eastern Continental Divide. In the Five Points area of Atlanta, water on the east side goes to the Atlantic and west side goes to the Gulf. Source: Street and Sewer Department--City of Atlanta.

20- CA , NV, UT, CO, KS, MO, KY, TN. The Raiders are flying over Springfield, MO, but this is not the

21. Sierra Nevada Now you have studied the Sierras, Cascades, Rockies & Appalachians. SGS

22. Half Dome

23. San Diego One almost never hears about the swallows leaving Capistrano because a song was

never written about it. Asked this question to launch a discussion on migration. The purple martin is a type of swallow, and in the week of July 23, 2007, en route to Brazil, they descended upon the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in such numbers that restaurants could not allow patio dining.

24. To be determined
* Students should know the difference between natural and political boundaries. Students should understand man makes political boundaries, and Mother Nature makes natural boundaries.
Discuss the types of boundaries students know but never think much about. School boundaries, family property lines, boundaries used in sports(foul lines, end zone, lane markers). Are there any official or unofficial(unstated)boundaries in your city? For example, railroad tracks, wide streets, rivers, creeks, economic or ethnic boundaries. An example of an unofficial boundary is this quote stating, “Elvis was born on the wrong side of the tracks in Tupelo.”
** Much of the iceberg lettuce you will eat this winter comes from the Imperial Valley and the Gila River around Yuma, AZ. Carrots, too. The Imperial Valley is irrigated by the Colorado. Too much demand, too little water. Are you aware of the recent agreements between cities in CA & AZ, and Imperial Valley farmers over rights to water from the Colorado River? Information on www.doi.gov/water2025 www.r5.fs.fed.us/water_resources. Good site for students in California.
The Colorado River is in deep trouble. Teachers and students in Las Vegas and Grand Junction should tell us more. They are experimenting with de-salting sea water in Yuma, AZ, and

Brownsville, TX, but it is not yet economical to do so. Time will tell. SGS


See: NAT’L GEOG. magazine, “The Colorado: A River Drained Dry”, June 1991, pages 4-34.
*** Have you read “The Breakfast Cereal Gourmet” by David Hoffman? The Trix rabbit is the longest

running ad campaign in TV history---since 1960. Grape Nuts are neither grapes or nuts. They are made from wheat and barley. Lou Gehrig was the first athlete on a Wheaties box. Michael Jordan has appeared more than any athlete---18 times on a Wheaties box.


**** Asked the time zone question because of the game in London. We would consider Greenwich a

suburb of London. On September 25, 1676, Greenwich Mean Time became the standard for England. On November 1, 1884, a 25 nation meeting in Washington, D.C. made it the standard for the world. You might want to use this as an opportunity to inform the students that a.m. is an abbreviation for ante meridian, and p.m. means post meridian as measured from the Greenwich Meridian or prime meridian. Greenwich time is sometime referred to as zulu time.
