Answer
Glacial deposits and landforms
Explanation
The presence of glacial deposits and distinct landforms such as moraines and drumlins provides strong evidence for past glaciation in the UK.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Ice Coverage
Students often confuse the maximum extent of ice cover with the current distribution of glaciers in the UK.
Focus on historical data and maps that illustrate the geographical spread of ice during the last ice age, rather than present-day glacial locations.
