Geography is the study of the Earth and everything on it, for the most part. That is part of why it is such an interesting subject to study. What can be more interesting than this big ball of mostly water that we are all balancing on as we hurl through space and time? Earth is also the only known planet to have life like ours on it, making it arguably the most interesting planet we currently know about. Granted, the geography of other planets can be kind of interesting too.
You will have to know more than the average person about geography to do well on this quiz. If you really love geography, that should be no problem, but anything short of an enthusiastic approach to the subject will not suffice. If you think the average joe doesn’t measure up to your geographical knowledge, then it's time to challenge yourself with this quiz here.

You passed! Based on how well you did on this quiz, we feel confident in saying that your geography knowledge is better than the average person’s. You must really love the subject!
4/15, I did horrible!
Sorry, but you were not able to pass this quiz. Some of these questions were pretty difficult, however. You weren’t able to show that you have more geography knowledge than the average person but perhaps you’ll do better on the next one.
