Random Geo Quiz Questions

This quiz has ten random questions drawn from a pool of 100 different geography questions. Every time you take this quiz challenge, it will renew and have slightly different questions.

The quiz is ideal for a geo challenge between friends and your family. It can also help you study and prepare for an official Geo Bee contest.

Geography Basics – the Crash Course

We generally talk about seven continents in the world – Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America.

Many geographic quizzes will ask you to pinpoint places on the correct continent, so when you prepare for a geo challenge, it can be a good idea to work your way around the globe continent by continent.

Learn the largest countries on each continent and note what surrounds them. Work your way from the large to the smaller.

The next step is to look at cities. Again, go from larger to smaller in each country. Try to make visual maps to help you remember them.

Then continue with bodies of water, like oceans, gulfs, straits, rivers, and lakes. Go from continent to continent, from larger to smaller.

Then you have the most important mountains and deserts.

Geography Crash Course Example

Here is an example to see if you can answer: “Which countries border the Mediterranean Sea?”

Geography connects to history, biology, science, and more.
