A Level Geography Quiz 2015 Part 2

15 Questions

Quiz Description

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it.

As advanced level students, we already know that this social science is sectioned into 2 parts (the physical and the human geography). And as a wise student preparing for an official exam, you must have realized that to get good grades, it is integral to test yourself on everything and all the time.

We have come with a great way to help you complete your ambitions; we have created a quiz for you. Playing with this quiz all the time will help you come up with different reasoning approaches. This will literally teach you how and when to attempt questions.

Based on both the sections (topics include), this quiz comprises 15 questions only.
