South America contains the Andes (the world’s longest continental mountain range) and the Amazon Basin, one of Earth’s most biodiverse regions. The continent’s geography strongly shapes settlement and culture, from high-altitude Andean cities to river-based transport networks in the rainforest.
Tips for better scores
If you miss a question, pause to connect the answer to a map location (north/south, coastal/inland, bordering countries). Grouping countries by region and learning a few anchor capitals can make the rest easier to place.
