  I wasn't sure about question 17 -- so I started Googling. Here's a physical map. http://www.freeworldmaps.net/central-america/map.html That takes care of three of the answers. Then I Googled "northeasterly winds blowing toward Central America" and found this. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Trade_wind Try Googling key terms in the next question and see what you find.
