  1. Crust
  2. Mantle
  3. Outer core
  4. Inner core
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Outer core
Award 1 mark for identifying the outer core as the liquid layer composed of iron and nickel that generates Earth's magnetic field through convection currents. A is incorrect — the crust is the thin, solid outer layer composed of silicate rocks. B is incorrect — the mantle is composed mainly of silicate minerals. D is incorrect — the inner core is solid and does not generate the magnetic field.

  4. One plate subducting beneath another
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Plates sliding past each other

CXC CSEC Geography: Tectonic Processes FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Geography questions on Tectonic Processes are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Tectonic Processes for CXC CSEC Geography, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Geography?
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 Tectonic Processes practice with other Geography topics or even switch to a totally different CXC 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 Tectonic Processes questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Geography syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Geography specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC 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 CXC.
How is Tectonic Processes typically tested on CXC CSEC Geography papers?
Tectonic Processes appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Geography 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.
