While marine incursions occurred in some Gondwana basins globally, the dominant mode of deposition in India was terrestrial. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Gondwana System is primarily known for non-metallic mineral deposits like coal, sandstone, and clay. Metallic mineral deposits are more commonly associated with older rock systems like the Dharwar and Archean systems.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following statements are correct? 1.
