Consider the following statements with respect to Geoglyphs
Select the correct statement.

2&3 only
3 only
All of the above
Only statements 1st is correct. Geoglyphs
Geoglyphs are a form of prehistoric rock art, created on the surface of laterite plateaus.
They are made by removing a part of the rock surface through an incision, picking, carving or abrading.
They can be in the form of rock paintings, etchings, cup marks and ring marks.
The UNESCO listing mentions Konkan geoglyphs.
However, elsewhere, the term petroglyph (literally, “rock symbol/character”) is also used.
As per the UNESCO listing, petroglyphs and geoglyphs share similarities as both require the skills of removing parts or engraving a symbol on the rock surface.
A set of sinuous lines found in the Thar Desert of India is the largest geoglyph ever discovered.
Konkan Region
Clusters of geoglyphs are spread across the Konkan coastline in Maharashtra and Goa, spanning around 900 km.
Porous laterite rock, which lends itself to such carving, is found on a large scale across the entire region.
Hence option 1st is correct.
