How does bike geometry affect how your mountain bike handles?

Head angle is how far your fork slants away ahead of the bike. Downhill bikes have slack head angles for stability at high speeds, while XC bikes are a bit more upright, allowing for better steering agility.

Bottom bracket height is a big consideration in mountain biking. A lower bottom bracket will mean the bike corners better, but the likelihood of striking a pedal on the ground increases. You need to take into the amount of sag on your suspension when taking BB clearance into account.
