A footbridge or underpass separates people walking from fast-moving traffic.
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.

7. What safety equipment protects a cyclist’s head when riding a bicycle: a cycle helmet or a sun umbrella?
Cycle helmet
A cycle helmet absorbs impact to protect the head.
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. 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.
10. Does a passenger ferry travel on land, on water, or in the air?
