Northern Ireland Geography Quiz – A Small Land of Big Landscapes

Northern Ireland is small but varied. Its north coast has dramatic cliffs and the Giant's Causeway, the Mourne Mountains rise in the southeast and Lough Neagh sits at its center.

Geology explains many of its sights. Volcanic lava formed the Causeway's columns, while glaciers carved valleys and left drumlins, small rounded hills common in counties like Down.

Belfast's shipbuilding history and the walled city of Derry/Londonderry add human stories. Film and TV locations such as the Dark Hedges have brought new visitors to the countryside.
