World Geography Quiz

Remember no class tonight. Use the time to complete your quiz than email it to me by Saturday.

Giving exams on line is very difficult. I learned some things from my first quiz I gave to World Culture. Do
not copy your answers from the internet. An exam should be taken not using outside sources. It should
be a test of your own knowledge on a certain subject. I want you to answer the question using your own
words. Short, concise answers that answer the specific question. Not a whole lot of useless information
that doesn’t address the question.

For example:

How did people live during the prehistoric era?

People were nomadic hunter gatherers who moved from place to place in search of animals they
depended on for their survival. They had fire, used tools and weapons made of stone, couldn’t read or
write, and lived in caves where they painted pictures of animals on the walls.

Now answer these questions with short, concise answers using your own words.
