When continents are aligned according to Wegener's concept of Pangaea, evidence of Late Paleozoic glacial deposits is much more readily explained. This is because these deposits, found now on dispersed continents, align to form a coherent pattern of ancient glaciation when the continents are positioned together as they were in the supercontinent Pangaea.
