What map type can help you learn geography by drawing on them by yourself?
- A.
  
  Physical map
- B.
  
  Historical map
- C.
  
  Political map
- D.
  
  Blank & outline map
Correct Answer
D. Blank & outline map

Explanation
A blank & outline map is the correct answer because it allows you to draw on the map yourself. This type of map provides a basic outline of geographic features and boundaries, but does not include any pre-drawn details such as physical or political features. By drawing on a blank & outline map, you can actively engage in learning geography by labeling and marking different locations, landmarks, and other relevant information. This hands-on approach helps in developing a better understanding and memory of geographical concepts.

What's not shown on a world map?
- A.
  
  Continents
- B.
  
  Oceans
- C.
  
  Countries
- D.
  
  Moon
Correct Answer
D. Moon

Explanation
The correct answer is Moon. A world map typically shows continents, oceans, and countries, but it does not show celestial bodies such as the Moon. World maps focus on the Earth's surface and its features, excluding objects that are not part of the planet itself. Therefore, the Moon, being a natural satellite of the Earth, is not shown on a world map.

Which one of these doesn't exist, geographically speaking?
- A.
  
  Map with animal species
- B.
  
  Map with plants
- C.
  
  Map with Hollywood stars
- D.
  
  Map with roads
Correct Answer
C. Map with Hollywood stars

Explanation
A map with Hollywood stars does not exist geographically speaking because Hollywood stars are not physical entities that can be located on a map. Hollywood stars refer to famous actors and actresses who work in the film industry, and their presence is not tied to a specific geographical location. Therefore, it is not possible to create a map that shows the distribution or location of Hollywood stars.
