World Geography Quiz 1

Click here for details of the November 8/9 International Conference on EduTourism in Cuba

WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER A LONG TIME ....
I had intended removing this quiz, but it still scores a lot of hits, so it will stay where it is, at least for a while.

Don't forget the Twelve Days To Christmas Quiz on the December 2009 blog page.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

This quiz was set as part of a teaching exercise. Identify the features shown in each area against the letters - map lines, directions, oceans and seas, countries, cities (marked by dots), physical features (eg mountains, rives - shown by rather basic shapes and lines) and so on.

Click on the link at the foot of this page for the answers.
