Do you love everything that has to do with our beautiful planet and its features? Then these geography true or false quiz questions will be perfect for you!

Geography is the study of the Earth and its features. It also includes location elements and political entities such as capital cities.

This subject is vast, and there is so much to learn about it! But how much do you really know? We are just about to find out!

But firstly, let’s explain how it works.

You will find below a list of 140 geography “facts”. Some of them are right, and others aren’t.

Basically, for each one of them, you only have two possible answers. True or False.

Some of them are completely true and others aren’t. You need to say which one it is.

Each correct answer is worth 1 point.

For example, if you see ‘The Sahara Desert is located in Africa.’. The answer is ‘True’.

If it was ‘The Sahara Desert is located in Australia’. The answer would be ‘False’.

That having been said, if you are a true geography lover, you may want to make it extra hard. In this case, here is what you can do.

For each ‘false’ fact, you can correct it and score a bonus point.

For instance. If you have a fact saying ‘Canada is the largest country in the world’ and you say false, you score one point. If you add that it’s in fact Russia, then you score another point.

So, are you ready to get started now? Let’s go!
