उत्तर
The evidences that the Earth movements have taken place in the past are as follows :
- The basins containing sedimentary rocks indicate that such basins must have been below sea level in the past. The coalfields of the Damodar valley occur in such basins of the geological past.
- Oilfields occur in basins containing old sedimentary rocks. Such basins are now occurring on the land. This shows that the portion of the crust which was once depressed must have been uplifted later.
- llie Himalayas provide another evidence of the recent effect of Earth movements.
