World Youth and Teenage Geography Knowledge Contest

The online examination of the World Youth and Teenage Geography Knowledge Contest consists of three main sections: basic knowledge of geography, such as the movement of the earth, continents and oceans, topography and climate, etc.; geographic phenomena and scientific principles, including the causes of natural disasters, plate theories, and the impact of human activities on the environment; and practical application of geography, including the use of maps, analysis of simulated field trips, and the basic application of GIS tools. The questions are of various types, and the level of difficulty is set according to age and knowledge, with the children's group emphasizing the fundamentals and the youth group placing more emphasis on the application of principles and the ability to analyze problems.
