How did Wigner use the island of Spitsbergen to support the theory of continental drift?
First of all it is Wegener, Alfred Lothar Wegener to be percised. He was a german scientist who had the hypothesis for continental drift. His hypothesis got rejected by other scientist because it interferred with their ideas on how mountains form.Wegener used Spitsbergen to support his evidence for continental drift because Spitsbergen is now a snowy reigon and geoigists had found fossils of tropical plants.Tropical plants cannot grow in a snowy reigon.
