Consider the following statements:
1.Lemuria is considered as a contiguous landmass connecting India, Australia and Africa.
2.Zealand is a newly discovered continent submerged beneath the South-East Pacific Ocean.
3.The presence of Tillite deposits in the Gondwana landmass system in India provides evidence of the drifting of plates.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Only One
Only Two
All Three
None
Two of the statements given about Lemuria, Zealandia, and geological evidence in the Gondwana landmass are correct.
The first statement is incorrect. Lemuria is a hypothetical "lost land" located in the Indian or Pacific Ocean. Its existence was postulated in the 19th century to explain certain geological similarities between Africa, India, and Madagascar. However, it is not considered a scientifically valid concept in modern geology. The theory was rendered obsolete by the acceptance of plate tectonics and continental drift, which provide a comprehensive explanation for the distribution of flora and fauna and geological formations.
The second statement is correct. Zealandia is a nearly submerged continental fragment in the South Pacific Ocean that was classified as a continent in recent years. Approximately 93% of Zealandia's landmass is submerged beneath the ocean. It includes New Zealand and New Caledonia, and it represents a distinct geological entity that meets all the criteria applied to Earth's seven other continents.
The third statement is correct. The presence of tillite deposits in the Gondwana landmass system, including in India, provides geological evidence supporting the theory of continental drift. Tillites are a type of sedimentary rock formed from glacial till, and their presence in different continents that were once part of Gondwana indicates these landmasses were once joined and experienced similar climatic conditions in the past, such as glaciation.
Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
