3. Question
Category: GeographyRead the following statements and choose the correct option:
Statement I: J D Dana prepared a special Geological Time Scale to indicate the geological history of Indian sub-continent rocks.
Statement II: As per Geological Time Scale, Indian rocks are subdivided into Archean, Puranic, Dradian and Aryan periods.
CorrectThe Indian Geological Time Scale, advocated by T.S. Holland. Based on this complex and varied geological history, the Geological Survey of India has classified rock systems of the country into 4 major divisions: 1. The Archaean Rock System 2. The Purana Rock System 3. The Dravidian Rock System 4. The Aryan Rock System
The term ‘Archaean’ introduced by J.D. Dana in 1782, refers to the oldest rocks of the earth’s crust. The Archaean group of rocks consists of two systems- (a) Achaean System: Granites and Gneisses, (b) Dharwar System: First Sedimentary Rocks

4. Question
Category: Science and TechnologyChoose the correct chronological order of given Epochs, oldest one will come first:
CorrectThe geological history of the Earth (known as geological time scale) is divided into several Eras. These eras are further divided into Periods, which are sub-divided into Epochs. Durations of each Period have been demarcated and the evolution of vegetation and animals are explained accordingly.
Cenozoic Era: Age of mammals: It is divided into three periods: the Paleogene, Neogene, and Quaternary; and seven epochs: the Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Holocene.
Mesozoic Era: Age of Reptiles: It is divided into three periods: Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic.
Paleozoic Era: an explosion of life on Earth: It is subdivided into seven geologic periods: Permian, Carboniferous: Pennsylvanian, Carboniferous: Mississippian, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician and Cambrian.IncorrectThe geological history of the Earth (known as geological time scale) is divided into several Eras.

6. Question
Category: GeographyBased on following statements choose the correct option:
Statement-I: Theory of Plate Tectonics was given by H H Hess in 1967.
Statement-II: Theory of Plate Tectonics is based on Theory of Seafloor Spreading.
CorrectGerman meteorologist Alfred Wegener is often credited as the first to develop a theory of plate tectonics, in the form of continental drift. The theory of plate tectonics is what brings together continental drift and seafloor spreading. Plates are made of lithosphere topped with oceanic and/or continental crust. The plates are moved around on Earth’s surface by seafloor spreading. Convection in the mantle drives seafloor spreading. Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. The crust moves outward from the ridge over time. The crust may eventually sink into the mantle and be destroyed. If a continent sits on a plate with a mid-ocean ridge, the continent will be pushed along.
