Accept Vesuvius for lava-spewing mountain? I thought a particular volcano was meant. Didn't even think to put in "volcano."

True, and when it says lava-spewing mountain, is Vesuvius the only one? No, so it's prompting you to be more general.

Circumferences are largest? Don't you mean circumferences are longest? Circumferences only have length, not area!

A circumference is a distance. Distances can be large, a word which doesn't specifically have to refer to area.

You say largest waistline, not longest. And that is circumference aswell.

Have only heard of mesas in Finnish and German (pöytävuori and Tafelberg), didn't know the English name. (Should have gotten it through Latin.) So it can be a problem for those who speak germanic or slavic etc. languages.

I knew Mesa was the Spanish term for Table, but have never heard it used in a geographical context...and I live next to a hill we call 'TableTop'!

Kaheli: ^ Not really. Tafel means table. Mesa means table. Not a great leap. And Mesa is Spanish, not English.

I think of Mesa as being an area of highs and lows instead a singular landform, like a desert. I blame Minecraft

I got most right apart from the U city in Netherlands, and mesa. I have to admit, I don't think I have ever heard of mesa! Maybe it is more well-known in American English?

It's often used in the American southwest - Mesa, a city in AZ, Grand Mesa and Black Mesa in CO, Mesa Verde National Park, etc.

I recall something about the circumference of the Earth being largest several degrees lower than the equator, not actually at the equator. I understand the intent of the question but maybe something liked "assumed to be the largest circumference of the Earth"

"Large Southern African semi-desert" made me think there was a general term starting with K that described that type of biome and I just couldn't figure it out.

"Large semi-desert in Southern Africa" probably wouldn't have a similar effect on my brain, which is interesting.
