With reference to the Himalayan range, which of the statements is/are correct? 1. The sedimentary rocks of the lesser Himalayas were fossil less. 2. Marine livings fossils are found in the sedimentary rocks of lesser Himalayas. 3. Remains of human civilization are found in outer of the Shivalik Himalayas. Select the correct answer using the codes given below: Codes: Correct Answer 1, 2 and 3

The Correct Answer is 1, 2, and 3.

 Key Points

  • The sedimentary rocks in the Lesser Himalaya lack fossils because of the following reasons 
  • They formed at a very old time when life forms were not abundant or diverse.
    • They have been metamorphosed. Hence Statement 1 is Correct.
  • As the Himalaya rose from the Tethys sea, Shells, pebbles, and marine fossils are found in the limestone beds are found in the lesser Himalaya. Hence Statement 2 is Correct.
  • Remains of the Lower Paleolithic (around 500,000 to 125,000 BP) Soanian culture were found in the Shivalik region. Hence Statement 3 is also Correct.

S1:Palaeobotany is the study of fossil plants preserved in rocks dating back in millions of years.
P :Records of the history of the world are contained in fossils.
Q :Through the ages, plants have evolved from simple to more complex forms.
R :First there were water plants then land plants appeared during the Paleozoic era.
S :But since the fossil remains appear locked in rock layers, they are closely related to the geologist area of investigation.
S6:The fossil plants indicate the age of the rock, and also point to facts regarding climate, temperature and topography.

Crude mineral oil comes out of the earth as a thick brown or black liquid with a strong smell. It is a complex mixture of many different substances, each with its own individual qualities. Most of them are combinations of hydrogen and carbon in varying proportions. Such hydrocarbons are also found in other forms such as bitumen, asphalt and natural gas. Mineral oil originates from the carcasses of tiny animals and from plants that live in the sea. Over million of years, these dead creatures form large deposits under sea­bed and ocean currents cover them with a blanket of sand and silt. As this material hardens, it becomes sedimentary rock and effectively shuts out the oxygen, thus preventing the complete decomposition of the marine deposits underneath. The layers of sedimentary rocks become thicker, and heavier. Their pressure produces heat, which transforms the tiny carcasses into crude oil in a process that is still going on today.
Sedimentary rocks leads to the formation of oil deposits because
