World Geographical Records

Haiti is located in the Caribbean Sea, on the island of Hispaniola which it shares with the Dominican Republic. The Mediterranean Sea is between Europe and Africa, the Red Sea separates Africa from the Arabian Peninsula, and the Bismarck Sea is near Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean.

The Nile is traditionally considered the longest river in the world at approximately 6,650 km, flowing north through northeastern Africa. While some recent measurements suggest the Amazon might be longer, the Nile remains the standard answer in most contexts.

The Persian Gulf is widely recognized as the warmest sea in the world due to its shallow depth and location in an arid region with high air temperatures. Summer water temperatures can exceed 35°C (95°F).

The Mariana Trench is the deepest known part of the world's oceans, reaching approximately 10,994 meters (36,070 feet) at its deepest point (the Challenger Deep). The Hadalpelagic Zone is the name for ocean depths below 6,000 meters, but the Mariana Trench is the specific deepest location.

Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Venezuela is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, with a total height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a continuous drop of 807 meters (2,648 feet). Niagara Falls, Victoria Falls, and Iguacu Falls are all impressive waterfalls but have much smaller drops.

The Red Sea is widely considered the warmest sea in the world due to its high salt content and location in an extremely hot region. Surface temperatures can reach 30-34°C (86-93°F). The Dead Sea is warmer but is technically a lake, not a sea.

Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area (82,100 km²). Located on the border between the United States and Canada, it's the largest of the five Great Lakes. Lake Baikal is the deepest and oldest lake, but not the largest by surface area. Lake Eyre is a salt lake in Australia, and Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa but smaller than Superior.

New Guinea is the second largest island in the world by area (785,753 km²), located north of Australia. Greenland is the largest island at approximately 2.16 million km². Iceland is much smaller at 103,000 km², and Sri Lanka is 65,610 km². New Guinea is politically divided between Indonesia (western portion) and Papua New Guinea (eastern portion).

Fiji is an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean, northeast of New Zealand. It's definitely not in the Atlantic (off the Americas), Arabian Sea (off India), or Indian Ocean (off Africa/India/Australia). The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean and contains the Polynesian and Melanesian island chains including Fiji.

Penang Island is off the northwest coast of Malaysia in the Strait of Malacca, which connects to the Indian Ocean. It's definitely not in the Atlantic (Americas side), Pacific (east of Asia), or Antarctic Ocean. The Indian Ocean is the correct geographical classification for waters around Penang.

The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean Sea, south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica. They're definitely not in the Baltic (northern Europe), Mediterranean (between Europe/Africa), or Pacific (largest ocean). The Caribbean Sea is the correct answer.
