About Canadian Geography

How well do you know the geography of Canada, the second-largest country on Earth? This quiz covers the provinces and territories and their capitals, the borders and the size of the place, the landforms from the Canadian Shield to the Rockies and the Arctic islands, the great rivers and lakes and the fifth of the world's fresh water they hold, and the climate, forests, cities, resources and national parks. One hundred questions in four packs of twenty-five.

Every question is written the way people search: what is the capital of each province, how many Great Lakes touch Canada, which is the longest river, where are the highest tides in the world, which was the first national park. The answer is one of four choices of the same kind, and the question never contains it. A short note after each answer fills in the figures, the location and the background.

The first pack covers the political map: the ten provinces and three territories, their capitals, the national capital, the size rankings, and the border with the United States. The second covers landforms: the Shield, the Rocky, Coast, Appalachian and Torngat mountains, Mount Logan, the Interior Plains, the Arctic Archipelago and Baffin Island, the badlands, the Niagara Escarpment and Point Pelee. The third covers water: the Mackenzie and St. Lawrence and Fraser and Yukon rivers, the Great Lakes, Great Bear and Great Slave and Winnipeg lakes, the canals, Churchill Falls and the James Bay Project, the oil sands and the Grand Banks. The fourth covers climate and biomes, the largest cities, where the population lives, the resources, the Trans-Canada Highway and the Confederation Bridge, and the national parks from Banff to Gros Morne.

About a fifth of the questions carry a photograph of the place named in the question, chosen so that it does not give the answer away. Every fact has been checked.
