What is Geography all about?

As the name suggests, “geo” means, earth or land, and “graph” means mapping or studying, so in that sense, it literally means the study of the land and earth.

The study of places and the relationships between people and their surroundings is known as geography. Geographers study the physical features of the Earth’s surface as well as the human societies that live there.

They also look at how human culture interacts with the natural world, as well as how different settings and regions can affect people. Geography tries to figure out where things are, why they are there, and how they evolve and change over time.

What is a Geography Quiz?

When we talk about a geography quiz, it is just like a questionnaire that is made in a fun manner. A quiz could be of various uses and a geography quiz is usually taken up for educational purposes and general knowledge tests also. You would observe geography questions in a random quiz.

So what should you know when beginning with making a geography quiz?

Firstly, there are various subtypes of geo quizzes. You can have a general quiz that consists of any random geographical question or you can have various specific quizzes.

For example, a world map quiz that included questions only related to the map, or you can make an Africa map quiz, which would have questions only related to the African continent.

Similarly, there can be different types in which you can make a geography quiz. We have listed some very common types in geography quizzes:

Map quizzes

These quizzes are related to images on the map, or how do we look at it. A picture quiz could be made into a map quiz as it will be the easiest way to ask questions. You can make use of the various types of questions that QSM has to offer to make an interesting map quiz.

Specific geography Quiz

A specific geography quiz is used when you need to ask specific questions related to a particular territory. For example, you can create a continent specific or a country-specific quiz that will include questions that are concerned with a particular country.

General Geography Quiz

A general geography quiz is the easiest to make and also the most popular one. It is very rare to see a specific geo quiz. The general quiz could have any type of questions relating to the maps, territories, and a lot more.

For example, the Contacts Tab may be used to construct a contact collection form, the Options tab can be used to change the appearance and haptics of your quiz, and the Text Tab can be used to add different messages to be presented at different times during your quiz.

In the same way, you must add questions to the questions tab. Every question can be modified in this way, for example, you can pick between image and text answers. Not only that, there are various types of questions including fill-in-the-blank and true and false questions, that can make your quizzes more happening.
