Question 1: Who is credited with developing the theory of relativity?

Question 2: How many official languages are there in South Africa?

South Africa is known for its linguistic diversity, with 11 official languages recognized in its constitution. These include Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans, English, Sepedi, Setswana, Sesotho, Xitsonga, Siswati, Tshivenda, and Ndebele. This is the most official languages of any country in the world.


Question 3: Where in the body is insulin produced?

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels by allowing cells to absorb glucose. When insulin production is insufficient or the body doesn't respond to it, diabetes can occur.



Question 4: Why does it get colder at higher elevations?

As elevation increases, air pressure decreases because there is less atmosphere pushing down from above. Lower air pressure means molecules are more spread out, making the air less effective at retaining heat. That's why mountainous areas have colder temperatures than lower elevations at the same latitude.


Question 5: What is the term for the seasonal wind shift that brings significant rainfall to parts of Asia?

Monsoons are seasonal reversals in wind direction that cause wet and dry seasons in Asia and other parts of the world.

Question 7: In Irish folklore, who is known for having a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Leprechauns are a type of fairy in Irish folklore, typically depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. They are commonly said to hide their pots of gold at the end of a rainbow, and this treasure is fiercely guarded. The leprechaun has become one of Ireland's most famous mythical creatures, popularized internationally around St. Patrick's Day.
