There's a good reason why we're taught geography in school. It's not just to learn where countries are, but also to start developing a view of the world. That view is important because it helps us understand the world around us, and how to interact with it.
Think about it. How can you have a conversation with someone from another country if you don't know where they're from? How can you trade with someone if you don't know where they live? How can you understand the news if you don't know where events are taking place?
Geography is about more than just memorizing countries and their capitals. It's about understanding the world we live in. You'll get plenty of chances to test your knowledge with this geography quiz. The wide range of questions covering many different areas of geography will help you brush up on the everyday geography knowledge most people take for granted.
