To be honest, I'm middle eastern and I really liked this. I wish all maps had this division. We have more in common with Europe than East Asia. In fact, if cultural differnces are taken as a dividing criterion between continents (as is the case for Europe), one could divide Asia into 5 or 6 continents: Middle East (or western Asia), South Asia, Central Asia, East Asia, and South-East Asia. I would also make Siberia its own continent or merge it with central Asia.
Very nice quiz. I made 26 guessing city/region names. I should only point there are two misspelling in the answers: "Condillera Occidental" and "Cordillerea Oriental". Both should be "Cordillera".
It felt weird to see only Serra do Mar and Serra do Espinhaço in Brazil, because we call lots of highlands "Serra" (literally means range). The one I missed the most was the Mantiqueira Mountains, but they are kinda the same range of Serra do Mar, separated by a graben. Anyway, geographer rambling here :p I'm looking that database as soon as I can to see why he didn't consider most of that Serras.
The Brazilian ranges I included weren't actually from that database, I added them because I wasn't quite satisfied with its level of detail in that region. It's very hard to get reliable information on mountain ranges from a place you're not from, because divisions are so often colloquial rather than geographical. I spoke to the one Brazilian I know in choosing ones to add, but I'd very much welcome your feedback for further ranges that should be added/changed. The more primary sources I can get, the better!
I'm a brazilian geographer as well. Brazil don't have very tall mountain ranges, but the highest point is in the northern region of Roraima, there are some high plateaus sharing border with Venezuela and Guyana, from where flows Orinoco river and some important rivers of the amazon basin. We called it Planalto das Guianas, or Guyana Shield in english.
I liked the level of detail you had for US. By my knowledge, I would generalize everything north of UT/NV as "Rocky Mountains". This would be kinda difficult to do in Brazil, because as levic said most of our ranges are residual from very old formations. I'll talk with some geomorphologist friends to see which ranges they think should be highlighted, and bring you a more elaborated answer.
BUT, based on my knowledge, I would say you should include Mantiqueira Mts (between Serra do Mar and Espinhaço), Pacaraíma Mts (they are the most known from Guyana Plateau. but maybe the Plateau as a whole could be included - not sure about that tho), Serra Geral (in the very south, close to Uruguay) and the Borborema Plateau (in the northeast). It's up to you to consider plateaus as mountain ranges or not! haha
Haha, I got Iberian from trying Siberian. I don't know much about mountains, but I had a lot of fun guessing random regions, especially when I got a mountain range in a completely different place.
