2. Does a bicycle travel on land, on water, or in the air?
On land
A bicycle has two wheels and is pedalled along roads and paths on land.
3. How does a sailboat move across the water without using a fuel engine: the wind pushes against its sails, or horses pull it?
The wind pushes against its sails
Sails capture wind energy to propel a sailboat across the water.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. What safety item should every passenger wear when travelling in a small boat or speedboat: a lifejacket (personal flotation device) or roller skates?
Lifejacket (personal flotation device)
A properly fitted lifejacket keeps a person afloat in the water.
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. 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.
9. What safety strap must drivers and passengers fasten across their chest and lap inside a car or bus: a seatbelt or a shoelace?
Seatbelt
Seatbelts keep passengers securely in their seats during sudden stops.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
