Answer:

Peninsular gneiss is among the most common types of rocks found in Kerala.

Explanation:

  • Quartz, Feldspars, biotite, and garnite are significant minerals that contribute to the formation of rocks.
  • The largest rocks are formed in the Cochin region.
  • In Kerala, three major geological formations are recognised: the Archaeans (oldest rocks), the Tertiary Warkalli beds (Upper Miocene to Pliocene), and the more recent deposits (quarternary).
  • These are aligned north to south.The types that are present are hornblende gneiss and biotite.
  • Both primary and placer deposits of gold can be found in Kerala.
  • The Wayanad-Nilambur regions are where the known occurrences predominate. The Palakkad district's Attapady valley has recently and successfully discovered gold.
