Quick context and facts
Africa is the world’s second-largest continent and spans both hemispheres, which helps explain its wide range of climates—from Mediterranean conditions in the far north to equatorial rainforests and vast arid zones. It also contains some of Earth’s most influential geographic systems, including the Nile Basin and the Great Rift Valley, which is linked to major lakes and volcanic activity.
Tips for improving your score
If you miss a question, note the country’s neighbors or the nearest major physical feature and try again later. Repetition with a map (even a simple outline map) is one of the fastest ways to make locations stick.
