I think that Crevasse should be accepted for canyon and that channel can be accepted for strait.

I agree, also, I think that #5 is a little vague because technically any landmass can be "near" water. I tried "continent", "island", and "peninsula" for that. Also, streams and creeks are basically the same thing as rivers. "Pond" should be acceptable for "lake" too. It would also be helpful if you numbered the hints, so you could go to the one labeled number 5 or something instead of counting the ones to see the hint you were relating to beforehand. Good quiz.

Fun quiz. "Canal" seems to fit the definition for "straight" as well.

I would see how you think that, but canals are manmade. Sorry!

It doesn't say "natural landforms"...

Have to agree with llamaboy23. If the answer was canal, the clue would have said manmade.

Gorge for canyon?

Why not gorge?

Gorge ("A deep narrow passage with steep rocky sides; a ravine") and possibly Fjord ("A long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between steep slopes") should work for canyon.

Great quiz! Took me a while to figure out how to spell "strait"--I kept putting a "gh" in it and being puzzled that it wasn't accepted--but I eventually got it.
This quiz was fun enough that you should consider doing a sequel, with all the landforms you left out of this first one. Cave, tundra, fjord, isthmus, etc.

I also tried ravine and gorge for the canyon question....They are all synonyms for all intents and purposes.

Consider accepting Butte for Mesa. The description given fits both.

This kind of quiz is very ambiguous. :/ 5 could also be beach, 9 could be rift, ravine or gorge, 18 could be sound.

For 5, not all coast is a beach. There are cliffs along many coasts that lead straight to the water, however, all beaches are coasts. 21/22. Missed sinkhole.

This was fun, but like Zefyrinus said, pretty ambiguous. Jungle should count for forest, gorge has been mentioned, a polder is also a large (very) flat area of land.Other than that, big fun!

Agree that this is a fun one. Am I the only one who answered "beach" for #5?

20/22 I can't believe I didn't get Delta! Sinkhole would still have gotten me though.
