| | |  Astronomy Lesson of Records #2
Due to the outstanding success of the first Lesson of Records, we are going to have another one! The first was based on space and the universe, so this one is all about the earth.
The questions are formatted like "What is the biggest..." or "what is the smallest", and each will be a known World record. There are 20 questions, 10 points a question (though I do raise it if noone guesses) so this lesson will provide a MINIMUM of 200 points! The first to guess correctly gets the points, and there will be no arguing over answers, as they come from a very reliable source.
So yeah, get in and have some fun earning big points for your house! | |

Cherry put up her hand as well. "The Kali Gandaki Valley perhaps?" She wasn't sure if it was right or not, but there was nothing wrong with trying.

Jenna raised her hand reluctantly. "I thought it was Arun as well...how about Death Valley then?" She had been sure it was Arun but she thought she might as well give this other answer a try.

"The Great Rift Valley runs north to south for some 5,000 km, from northern Syria to central Mozambique. The valley varies in width from 30-100 km and in depth from a few hundred to several thousand metres.
"If not, my second option is the Copper Canyon, a canyon system in the Sierra Tarahumara in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. This canyon system is larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon."

Lol, no, it's not. The grand canyon is the worlds largest land gorge, not the deepest canyon... | |

Jenna raised her hand eagerly. "Vicos Gorge in northern Greece?" She asked. She knew she should try, although she probably was wrong again.

OOC: Wow, er, thanks Dainsie.
Having thought the answer was the Colca Canyon as well, she decides to try. "The Copper Canyon perhaps?"

*sighing, Nadia raised her hand though both her options had already been said, so just to be original she said*
"I believe it could be the Brahmaputra, in China."

(ooc: Actually I'm going to make a second guess because the ones I thought were guessing the same as my charry have another pronounciation of the place/spelling/or just have difference so...)
Nadia raised her hand, "My sencond guess is the Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon."
