Geography and Travel Quizzes

This category covers the map from two angles. The world capitals quiz tests the names that people most often get wrong, such as why Canberra and Ottawa are capitals and Sydney and Toronto are not. The physical geography quiz moves on to the land itself, with measured records for mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts and canals, and it explains how those records are measured so you can see why some of them change over time. Finally, the traveler type quiz is a light personality quiz that suggests what kind of trip suits you, which is useful when you are choosing a destination or planning with friends who travel differently. Every trivia question has an explanation, a difficulty label and an optional timed mode, and nothing needs a sign-up. Start with the capitals quiz if you want a quick warm-up, and try the physical geography quiz when you want something more demanding.
