U.S. bests Germany, France for world geography title
National Geographic World Championship winners Alexander Smith, left, John Rice, center, and Dallas Simons Story Tools RELATED National Geographic Bee TAMPA, Florida (AP) Who says Americans are lousy at geography? Three U.S. teenagers won the gold medal Wednesday in the National Geographic World Championship, beating teams from Germany and France to successfully defend the U.S. title in a contest held every two years. The teenagers beat Germany in the finals by identifying Bahrain from a series of clues about the oil-producing nation and then naming Crete as the island where oranges, grapes and olives are grown and is associated with the worship of Zeus. "It's kind of nerve wracking," said U.S. team member John Rice, 15, who is home schooled at his family's Maddock, North Dakota, wheat farm. "We took it one question at a time." Dallas Simons, 13, of Nashville, Tennessee, and Alexander Smith, 15, of Burlington, North Carolina, were the other U.S. competitors. It's the fourth time the United States has won the competition since it was first held in 1993. Eighteen countries from as far away as Singapore and Nigeria sent three-student teams to the two-day tournament at Busch Gardens. The United States, Germany and France advanced to the finals after beating the other countries in an elaborate, geography-based scavenger hunt through the amusement park Tuesday.

  • Following correction sent by Eric Cowen of Luxembourg
    A note at the bottom of the page indicates that there is "an occasional warm tropical wind known as mistral". In actual fact, the wind known as Mistral blows from the North to the South of France, along the Rhone river valley, i.e. roughly at 45° North, which is far from the Tropics. It is a cold and violent wind, not your everyday tropical breeze.

    France - Geography
    By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman France's geography is among the most unique in all of Europe. France is one of the largest countries, by size, in Europe. It is a little bigger than Oregon and Nevada and stretches from the Atlantic Ocean and English Channel in the north to the Mediterranean Sea in the south. It is bordered by Spain and Andorra to the southwest and Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Monaco to the east.
    France's terrain changes from beaches and rolling grasslands in the north to rugged and steep mountains in the Alps along its border with Switzerland and Italy. France's climate ranges from warm nearly year-round along the Atlantic coast, to cold and snowy winters along the southeastern border with Italy and Switzerland.
    In the north of France, beautiful beaches border the regions of Brittany and Normandy, both of which are known for their ancient small towns and fishing villages. As elsewhere in France, you could find many villages in the north full of ancient buildings and churches, and even some monuments that are almost 4,000 years old! You would also find many country homes, or as the French say, "chateaux".
