Land, water & air transport

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. Which heavy farm vehicle has large, deep-tread tyres to pull ploughs and trailers across muddy fields: a tractor or a scooter?
Tractor
Tractors provide high traction and pulling power on farms.
2. Which form of transport uses zero fuel, makes no smoke, and exercises your legs on short trips: walking (or cycling) or flying in a jet?
Walking (or cycling)
Walking and cycling are human-powered active transport.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Which underwater vessel can dive beneath the surface of the ocean and travel completely submerged: a submarine or a tram?
Submarine
A submarine adjusts its ballast tanks to dive and travel underwater.
6. At a pedestrian crossing, what are the black-and-white stripes painted across the road called: a zebra crossing or a runway?
Zebra crossing
A zebra crossing gives pedestrians a marked place to cross the street safely.
7. Does a passenger ferry travel on land, on water, or in the air?
On water
A ferry is a boat or ship that carries passengers and cargo across water.
8. Which special aircraft has floats (pontoons) instead of wheels so it can take off from and land on a calm lagoon: a seaplane or a submarine?
Seaplane
Seaplanes connect island communities by landing directly on sheltered water.
9. Why are giant container ships used to transport goods like grain, clothing and electronics across oceans: one ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes, or ships fly over mountains?
One ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes
Maritime container shipping has the lowest energy use per tonne-kilometre for bulk ocean trade.
10. Does a helicopter travel on land, on water, or in the air?
In the air
A helicopter uses spinning overhead rotor blades to fly in the air.
11. 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.
12. What traditional wooden boat is used across the Maldives for fishing and inter-island travel: a dhoni or a gondola?
Dhoni
The dhoni is the traditional multi-purpose vessel of the Maldives.
