Fossils of tropical fruits have been found in coal deposits in spitzbergen, what does that indicate

Explanation:

It indicates that the land where Spitbergen is now was once at a tropical latitude. This is explained by the theory of plate tectonics

Plate tectonics holds that the Earth’s crust is divided into plates that move incrementally due to various forces, and that continental plates have been moving all over the Earth’s surface for billions of years.

Fossils of tropical fruits

It indicates that the land where Spitsbergen is currently was once at a tropical parallel. This is clarified by the theory of plate tectonics.

Unlike Axel Heiberg of Canada, Spitzbergen didn't move significantly away from lower to a higher altitude in the past 45 million years. However, the two territories show deposits of coal with fossil proof of warm-climate animals and vegetation.

This was not environmental change because of tectonic movements’ crosswise latitude yet an interlude of internationally warm environmental change during the Eocene period.
