2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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. 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.
8. 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.
9. What tall tower on a coast or reef shines a bright beam of light at night to warn ships away from dangerous rocks and reefs: a lighthouse or a windmill?
Lighthouse
Lighthouses guide mariners and mark coastal hazards and harbour entrances.
10. 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.
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 is the long, flat paved strip at an airport where aeroplanes accelerate to take off and touch down to land: a runway or a harbour?
Runway
Aircraft take off and land along the airport runway.
