Yes. At times you could use "hace or haces" when "asking" a question or when "describing" something.
For example:
Q: "Que haces en Santa Cruz?"
-(What are you doing in Santa Cruz?)-
And, as a response you say:
A: "Estoy visitando a mis amigos."
-(I am visiting my friends)-
You could also say:
Q: "Que temperatura hace en Santa Cruz?"
-(What's Santa Cruz's temperature?)-
A: "Hace mucho calor!"
-(It's very hot!)-
Q: "Hay muchos lagos en Santa Cruz?"
-(Is there many lakes in Santa Cruz?)-
A: "No, pero hay muchos rios."
-(No, but there's many rivers)-
Q: "Que estas haciendo ahora?"
-(What are you doing right now?)-
A: "Nada, pero luego ire a nadar en la piscina del hotel."
-(Nothing, but soon I'll go swimming in the hotel's swimming pool)-
Q: "Hace una semana que te has ido ya?"
-(Is it a week you're gone already?)-
A: "No. Sera una semana este Viernes."
-(No. It will be a week this coming Friday)-
Well, I believe that's your "5" questions... And, just in case, I also wrote the answer and translations to each one of them.
I wish you lots of luck and let me know if you need anything else... See ya!

Hey,
En Santa Cruz hay una universidad y muchas escuelas means: In Santa Cruz there is a university and many schools.
What I understand is that you want to ask: What is there in Santa Cruz? That in Spanish would be:
¿Qué hay en Santa Cruz?
AND the answer would be: hay una universidad y muchas escuelas.

haces comes from the verb "hacer: to do". Hay means "there is/there are. So your sentence is correct, but the two words do not mean thesame thing. so on your paper, it translates as "In santa cruz THERE IS a university and many schools." your answer/question translates as "what do YOU DO in santa cruz?" see how the verbs mean different things?... okay im rambling now you probably know most of this stuff already... just trying to help you clarify =)

No.
If you say "Qué HACES en Santa Cruz" you're saying "what ARE YOU DOING in Santa Cruz" or "what DO YOU DO in Santa Cruz"
"Hay" means "there are" or "there is". When asking a question, that word doesn' change.. you have to say "Qué HAY en Santa Cruz" = What IS THERE in Santa Cruz.
"Hay" is actually a form of the verb "haber". "Haces" is a form of the verb "hacer". Don't confuse them..:-))

hay is there is or there are,
it comes from the verb haber
haces in ¿Qué haces en Santa Cruz? means What do you do in Santa Cruz?
