What the geography quiz covers

Geography questions reward people who travel, read the news and look at maps for fun. Harder sets bring in deserts, straits, time zones and the odd capital that is not the biggest city.

World capitals and their countries
Rivers, lakes, mountains and deserts
Flags, borders and continents
Oceans, seas and famous landmarks
