10 brain booster trivia questions — on Geography! (Part 2)

We’re back this week with more brain booster trivia questions — on Geography!

Before we get to that, did you know that there was a National Geographic geography competition in the U.S before it was canceled last year due to the pandemic? It’s called the GeoBee competition. The bee was held annually since 1989 — over 30 years of history!

The National Geographic Bee, an educational program of the National Geographic Society, is a nationwide geography competition for U.S. schools with any grades four through eight, designed to encourage the teaching and study of geography.

How cool is that? It’s a shame that it’s been permanently canceled now, but we hope to continue to effort with our trivia quiz app!

This week, let's play 10 more trivia questions on Geography!
