Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3
Why must gaps be left between railway tracks?
- To save material
- To allow for thermal expansion in hot weather
- To reduce noise
- For drainage
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — To allow for thermal expansion in hot weather
Metal rails expand in hot weather. Without gaps, the rails would buckle. The gaps allow room for expansion.

CIE IGCSE Physics: Thermal Physics FAQ
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Thermal Physics practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Thermal Physics questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Thermal Physics typically tested on CIE IGCSE Physics papers?
Thermal Physics appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
