Explanation: The Gondawana system of sediments from India is known to have its counterparts in six different landmasses of the Southern Hemisphere.

• At the base, the system has thick tillite indicating extensive and prolonged glaciation.
• Counterparts of this succession are found in Africa, Falkland Island, Madagascar, Antarctica and Australia.
• Overall resemblance of the Gondawana-type sediments clearly demonstrates that these landmasses had remarkably similar histories.
• The glacial tillite provides unambiguous evidence of palaeoclimates and also of drifting of continents.
