Bi-weekly Trivia Question (Answer)….


This time we asked what the world’s most populous city is.  And, relatedly, where do US cities appear on that list?  The (admittedly small) chart above shows Chongqing, China as the most populous city with a population of 30,484,300. Looking down the list you’ll find New York City, the first US city to appear, at number 30 with 8,622,698 people.  Los Angeles is number 39.  

The question (and answer) were found using World Geography (Salem Press).  This ebook is arranged into six volumes by world region. Each region covers the following interconnected categories to present a global view of how geography affects our world: Geographical Concepts and Worldview, Human Geography, including Political Geography, Regional Breakdown, Physical Geography, Economic Geography, Biogeography, and Natural Resources, and a Gazetteer. Find the ebook listed alphabetically under W on LAPL’s Research & Homework page and access it with your library card.  Once on the page for the ebook scroll down to the very bottom of the page to find World Geography.
