SSGO - Shine Senior Geography Olympiad Exam - 2024-2025

SSGO - Shine Senior Geography Olympiad

The study of places and the interactions between people and their environs is known as geography. Geographers study the surface of the Earth and the various human societies that are part of it.

The ancient Greek scholar Eratosthenes is referred to as the "father of geography." He was the first to coin the term "geography," and he also possessed a small-scale understanding of the planet that enabled him to calculate the earth's circumference.

Shine Senior Geography Olympiad is designed in a manner that participants go beyond the requirements of the school curriculum and rediscover geography as an engaging topic.
