Question

Which statement best explains why glacial deposits have given strong evidence of the existence of Gondwana?

A single continent in low latitudes would result in low latitude glaciation.

Fossil plants indicate a tropical climate in the northern continents.

The existence of a single continent in high latitudes is more sensible than low latitude glaciation on several continents AND fossil plants indicate a tropical climate in the northern continents.
