Here are eight physical geography-related questions for you to answer. See if you can answer these without looking at maps. There is no prize or anything. After a few people answer, I'll post the correct answers!

1. What four regions make up the United Kingdom?
2. What are the smallest and largest countries in the world according to land size?
3. What are the world's largest salt and fresh water lakes?
4. What island territory does it appear that Italy is "kicking"?
5. What is the name of the Russian peninsula in the Far East?
6. What is the largest mountain range in the world? (Careful: it might not be what you think it is)
7. What three countries make up the Scandinavian Peninsula?
8. What are the eleven countries that make up the continent of South America?

Good luck!
