Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the best answer based on geography facts.
---
Question 1: What is geography?
Geography is about studying places, lands, oceans, climates, and how people live in different parts of the world. It’s not just about people (that’s more sociology), not fossils (that’s paleontology), and not history (that’s a different subject). The best fit is “the study of Earth.”
✔ Correct Answer:
C — the study of Earth

Question 2: What continent do you live on?
This depends on where *you* live. But since this quiz seems to be from a U.S.-based context (looking at later questions like state capital = Sacramento, which is California), we can assume the student lives in North America.
✔ Correct Answer:
B — North America
*(Note: If you actually live elsewhere, choose your real continent — but for standard school quizzes in the U.S., it’s usually North America.)*

Question 3: What ocean do you swim in at the beach?
Again, depends on location. But if you’re in California (as hinted by Q4), you’d swim in the Pacific Ocean. Atlantic is east coast, Indian is near Africa/Asia, Arctic is too cold and far north.
✔ Correct Answer:
D — Pacific

Question 4: What is our state capital?
If “our” refers to California (since Los Angeles and Fullerton are cities there, and Orange is a county), then the capital is Sacramento — not LA or Fullerton.
✔ Correct Answer:
C — Sacramento

Question 5: Do you live north or south of the equator?
The equator runs through middle of Earth. Most of the U.S., Europe, Asia, etc. are north of it. Unless you live in Australia, South America, or southern Africa, you’re likely north.
Since previous answers point to U.S./California → definitely north.
✔ Correct Answer:
A — north
---
Question 6: What two hemispheres do you live in?
Hemispheres = halves of Earth. We have Northern/Southern (split by equator) and Eastern/Western (split by prime meridian).
If you live in the U.S. (North America), you’re in:
- Northern Hemisphere (north of equator)
- Western Hemisphere (west of prime meridian)
So:
north, west
✔ Correct Answer:
A — north, west
