The wind pushes against its sails
Sails capture wind energy to propel a sailboat across the water.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
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. 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.
8. Which emergency road vehicle has flashing lights and a siren to carry paramedics and patients quickly to hospital: an ambulance or a tractor?
Ambulance
Ambulances provide urgent medical transport to hospitals.
9. 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.
10. Which large road vehicle carries hoses, water pumps and ladders to help firefighters put out fires: a fire engine or a taxi?
Fire engine
Fire engines transport firefighters and rescue equipment to emergencies.
11. 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.
12. Which underwater vessel can dive beneath the surface of the ocean and travel completely submerged: a submarine or a tram?
Submarine
