Got everything except the mangrove one but should have guessed that. Same answer as another question and for the same reasons. Took several guesses to get Mexico. And got stuck on remote capital cities because I was typing in city names instead of country names for a while. The rest I found easy.
Mangroves, is a transitional coastal ecosystem between terrestrial and marine biomes. The term applies to humid areas characteristic of tropical and subtropical regions, associated with the margins of bays, inlets, bars, mouths of rivers, lagoons and coastal recesses, where river waters meet with that of the sea, or directly exposed to coastline, subject to the tidal regime and dominated by typical plant species, to which other plant and animal components are related.
Contrary to what happens on sandy beaches and dunes, the vegetation cover of the mangrove is installed on substrates of recently formed vases, with little declivity, under the daily action of salt water tides or, at least, brackish.
The term "mangrove" also applies to tree species characteristic of this natural habitat.
Woah, i had completely forgotten Mexico used to host alot in the past (And will host now in 2026), it went completely past my mind. Small thing, but you misspelled "Southermost" on the Southernmost megacity question ;)
I like that you accept the city as an answer for the "capital city" question, but please also do so for the "megacity" question as well for consistency. I guess if you want to be strictly accurate, you could only accept the country as an answer. Great quiz nonetheless!
I can't figure out why Brazil should be only second in Most tropical rainforest... according to most sites, brazil has by far the most with the amazon rainforest.
