14/15; I was basing my answer of the mountain height question on the fact that we have a "Mt. Pisgah" here in Lane County Oregon and it is just over 1500 ft. I guess "most geologists" weren't consulted when they named it! Great "hill" to hike, tho, offering views of Eugene, Springfield, and the far off Sisters (TRUE mountains)! Fun quiz!

Really great quiz! I got all except the hill/mountain one...(a lot of people seem to have done that)....I guessed higher, because here in CA we have REAL mountains. Meaning real big.

A+ !!! Took a guess on the mountain thing. Though I did grow up in an area where the hills around us are actually classified as mountains, so it was a somewhat educated guess, I guess

13/15 Nice to see I remember more from school than I thought. I thought the highest peak in TX (which I think is under 2000 ft.) was considered a mountain, so I got that wrong also. Oh, well. I'm probably remembering wrong.
