Evidence that Gondwana formed near the South Pole include ______.
A) penguin fossils

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evidence of continental glaciation is the best indication that Gondwana formed near the South Pole, as ice sheets and glaciers are more likely to form in colder regions. Penguin fossils and cold temperature mammals can also indicate a colder climate, but they are not unique to the polar regions. Paleomagnetic data may provide evidence of continental drift, but it does not necessarily indicate that Gondwana was located near the South Pole.
