PYQs are not about predicting what UPSC will ask next. They reveal how UPSC thinks, connects concepts and tests your understanding. Don’t just solve PYQs. Understand the mind behind them.

THE UPSC LESSON: When studying a theory, don’t stop at its definition. Ask yourself: • What evidence supports it? • Which geographical locations are associated with it? • What real-world examples demonstrate it? UPSC often tests the connections surrounding a concept, not just the concept itself.

What was UPSC actually testing? 1. Geological similarities between South America and Africa. 2. Evidence supporting continental drift. 3. The distribution of Gondwana rock formations across southern landmasses. The question wasn’t simply about memorising a theory. It tested whether you could connect geographical evidence to a scientific concept.

The underlying concept: CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY. Alfred Wegener proposed that the present continents were once joined together as a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over geological time, these landmasses drifted apart. This explains why geological formations and mineral deposits found on continents now separated by oceans can have similarities.

WHY DID UPSC ASK THIS? | PYQ DECODED What connects the gold deposits of Ghana, the Brazilian plateau and ancient rock formations found in India? Three different geographical locations. One geological explanation. UPSC brought all three into a single Prelims question. Let’s understand the connection and, more importantly, what UPSC was testing.
