The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) in Barbados uses satellite imagery to track hurricane development in the Atlantic. Which type of satellite would be MOST useful for continuous monitoring of a hurricane approaching the Caribbean?

Q: How do I try a free CXC Integrated Science 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 CXC CSEC Integrated Science 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 CXC Integrated Science 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 Integrated Science questions aligned to the CXC CSEC syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Integrated Science 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 CXC past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

The Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) in Barbados uses satellite imagery to track hurricane development in the Atlantic. Which type of satellite would be MOST useful for continuous monitoring of a hurricane approaching the Caribbean?

Accepted Answer

Geostationary satellite — Award 1 mark for identifying that geostationary satellites remain fixed over one point on Earth, allowing continuous monitoring of weather patterns in one region. B is incorrect because low Earth orbit satellites move too quickly across the sky for continuous observation of one area. C is incorrect because polar orbiting satellites pass over different regions on each orbit. D is incorrect because space stations are not designed primarily for weather monitoring.

Answer

Low Earth orbit satellite

Answer

Space station

Answer

Geostationary satellite

Answer

Polar orbiting satellite
