Explanation:

India can be divided into several divisions such as Archean System, Dharwar System, Cuddapah system, Vindhyan system, Paleozoic,Mesozoic, Gondwana, Deccan Trap, Tertiary and Alluvial.

? Archean rocks, also known as Pre-Cambrian rocks are the oldest rocks of the earth’s crust.

? The Archean period covers 86.7% of Total geological history of earth and therefore is very significant.

? Dharwar system is later than the Archean system but older than the other systems.

? Cuddapah System rocks are rich in metamorphic rocks such as sandstone, shale, limestone, quartzite, and slate. It is younger than Dharwar but older than other system.

? As the name suggests, these are the major coal deposits of India. This system contains famous

Damuda and Panchet series which are famous for coal deposits (discussed below).

The important coal bearing areas of this series are Raniganj, Jharia, Karanpur, and Bokaro of the Damodar basin in Odisha, and the Pench valley in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, the jhingurda coal seam (Chhattisgarh).
