Coal deposits have also been found beneath the ice of Antarctica but coal only forms in warm swamps How could coal be found so near the south pole?
The coal found in Antarctica likely formed during a time when the continent was situated further north within a warmer climate, allowing for the formation of coal beds in swamps. Over millions of years, tectonic movements and continental drift caused Antarctica to move to its current position near the South Pole, preserving the coal deposits beneath the ice.
Are the fossil fuels coal and oil found in Antarctica useable?
Yes, coal deposits have been found in Antarctica, but extracting and using them is currently not economically viable due to the extreme conditions in the region. As for oil, there have been limited exploration efforts in Antarctica, but the environmental sensitivity and protection regulations in place make commercial oil extraction unlikely.
What are major resources found in antarctica?

Why is there coal in antarctica?
Coal is found in Antarctica because millions of years ago, when the continent was covered in lush vegetation, plant material accumulated and was eventually buried under sediment. Over time, the pressure and heat transformed the plant material into coal deposits.
Is coaling banned from Antarctica?
Coal mining is banned in Antarctica because it was very bad for the environment. The Madrid Protocol was an agreement by all countries not to mine coal in Antarctica.

Are coal oil and gas found in Antarctica?
There is no commercial exploitation of land south of 60 degrees S on the planet, per the Antarctic Treaty. If there may be natural resources under Antarctica's ice sheet, they will not be extracted or commercialized, per the treaty.
Why are coal deposits found in Antarctica?
Continental Drift. The land mass wasn't always at the poles so could support forests that then got covered to become coal. Climate Change's another. Earth maybe WAS warm enough at the pole but the climate as a whole warm enough to support foorests there.
