South America is recognized as one of the most biodiverse continents in the world. Its rainforests contain a significant proportion of earth’s species. Major mineral resources include gold, iron, copper, silver and petroleum.The twelve sovereign states in South America include Venezuela, French Guiana, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. Other non-sovereign countries and protectorates and dependencies such as the Galapagos Islands.
Growing up in South America, I enjoyed an idyllic childhood where the freedom to roam and discover the beauty and diversity of abundant natural resources and environments was encouraged. This quiz will give you a taste of the continent that boasts many of the largest, biggest and boldest natural landmarks in the world. Enjoy!
