About the Geo Terms quiz
Seventy words for the shape of the land
Each question is a geography term and its definition, with one of the two hidden: see the definition and pick the term, or see the term and pick what it means. Four options, ten a round. Every term comes with a real example once you answer, so a tombolo is Chesil Beach in England, and the three levels ask each of their terms once, with misses returning at the end.
From hill to tombolo
