Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which instrument would scientists use to detect ground movement on a volcano before an eruption?

  1. An anemometer
  2. A barometer
  3. A seismometer
  4. A rain gauge
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — A seismometer
Award 1 mark. Seismometers record the small earthquakes caused by rising magma. An anemometer measures wind speed, a barometer air pressure and a rain gauge rainfall.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the main cause of the movement of tectonic plates?

  1. Tides caused by the Moon
  2. Winds blowing across the ocean surface
  3. Earthquakes pushing the crust sideways
  4. Convection currents in the mantle
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — Convection currents in the mantle
Award 1 mark. Heat from the core drives convection currents, and the pull of sinking plates (slab pull) and push from ridges also move plates. Tides and winds cannot move plates, and earthquakes are a result of movement, not its cause.

OCR GCSE Geography: Global Hazards FAQ

Is Kramizo free for OCR GCSE 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 Global Hazards practice with other Geography topics or even switch to a totally different OCR 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 Global Hazards questions aligned to the official OCR GCSE Geography syllabus?
Every question is written against the published OCR GCSE Geography specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real OCR 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 OCR.
How is Global Hazards typically tested on OCR GCSE Geography papers?
Global Hazards appears across multiple question types on real OCR GCSE 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.
