Glacial deposits gave strong evidence of the existence of Gondwana because a single continent in high latitudes was more sensible than low latitude glaciation on several continents and glacial striations showed that all glaciers on each continent had flowed from a central location. This indicates that the continents were once joined together as Gondwana, with a large ice sheet covering the southern region.
