A helicopter uses spinning overhead rotor blades to fly in the air.
6. What floating marker anchored in a channel shows boat captains the safe deep-water route through a lagoon or harbour: a navigation buoy (or beacon) or a postbox?
Navigation buoy (or beacon)
Channel buoys and beacons mark reefs, shoals and safe shipping lanes.
7. Which vehicle runs on two parallel steel rails and pulls carriages between stations: a train or a lorry?
Train
Trains run along railway tracks to carry hundreds of passengers or heavy freight.
8. At a traffic light, what colour light tells drivers to come to a complete STOP: red or green?
Red
Red means stop; amber means prepare to stop; green means proceed with caution if the way is clear.
9. What is a sheltered area of water where boats and ships dock safely to load passengers and cargo: a harbour (or port) or a hangar?
Harbour (or port)
Harbours and ports protect moored vessels from open-ocean waves.
10. What bridge or tunnel structure allows pedestrians to cross safely over or under a busy railway line or highway: a footbridge (or underpass) or a slipway?
Footbridge (or underpass)
A footbridge or underpass separates people walking from fast-moving traffic.
11. What do we call buses, trams, ferries and trains that anyone in the community can ride together along shared routes: public transport or private aircraft?
Public transport
Public transport moves many passengers together, reducing road traffic and fuel use per person.
