Q: How do I try a free CIE Geography question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live CIE IGCSE Geography bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for CIE Geography students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Geography questions aligned to the CIE IGCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Geography syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CIE past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

Fig. 3.1 shows a river meander. At which point would deposition be greatest?

[Diagram shows a meander with points W on the outer bend, X on the inner bend, Y in the centre of the channel, and Z on the straight section upstream]

Accepted Answer

X — inner bend — Award 1 mark for identifying the inner bend (slip-off slope) as the location of greatest deposition. Velocity is lowest on the inner bend due to shallower water and friction, causing the river to lose energy and deposit material. C is incorrect — the outer bend experiences erosion due to higher velocity. A is incorrect — the centre has higher velocity than the inner bend. B is incorrect — straight sections have more uniform flow.

Answer

Z — straight section

Answer

X — inner bend

Answer

Y — centre of channel

Answer

W — outer bend
