Map Quiz Instructions:

You will be asked to identify 80 countries/geographic features for your map quiz. To study, use any maps you want. Below are some links to useful websites you can use to study and even take quizzes. The countries/geographic features you need to identify on the quiz are only those listed below. For the quiz, you will be given several maps. In the countries/geographic features you are responsible for identifying there will be a letter. You will also be given an answer sheet with a list of the nations you were responsible for (so you don’t have to worry about spelling). You will simply match the letters on the maps with the name of the nation on your answer sheet.
