Draft:Original research/Astrogeology/Quiz

Astrogeology is a lecture about the application of geology to astronomical rocky-objects.

You are free to take this quiz based on the lecture at any time.

Once you’ve read and studied the lecture itself, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the and  templates you should have adequate background to score 100 %.

Suggestion: Have the lecture available in a separate window.

The quiz can also be taken repetitively to improve your score.
