the theory called the "continental drift" hypothesized that all the continents were once a huge supercontinent but then eventually over time spread apart. this is ALFRED WEGENER (veh-gen-er) HYPOTHESIS IN 1910.
He stated that the island had moved and gone underneath all of the other continents then surfaced in the Arctic, along with the plants fossils/ remains
Plants of temperate climate such as Spruce, fir and Ginkgo etc.
There are no tropical plans in either polar region: it's too cold for them to survive in those geographies.
True. Alfred Wegener, the scientist who proposed the theory of continental drift, used the distribution of fossils of tropical plants across continents as evidence to support his idea that the continents were once connected. This was one of the key pieces of evidence Wegener used to support his theory.
Fossils provide evidence of past life forms that existed in different environments and climates. By studying the types and distribution of fossils, scientists can infer how the Earth's surface and climate have changed over time. For example, fossils of tropical plants found in polar regions suggest a much warmer climate in the past.
continental drift, which states that continents were once connected in a supercontinent called Pangaea and have since drifted apart. The presence of tropical plant fossils in the Arctic suggests that the island was once located in a different, warmer climate, supporting the idea that continents have moved over time.

There are fossils of tropical plants there.
# It was sedimentary rock. # They were below the tree line. # The rock layer was exposed. # They were able to recognize tropical plants of ancient origin. # The fossils were once live plants at a time in which a tropical climate existed. # The climate is different now than it was at the time the fossil plants were alive. # The area where the fossils were found was once closer to the equator than it is now.
It is possible and would indicate that at some time in the past the desert area was not a desert.

smiliar fossils and plants, matching of the continents as a jig-saw puzzle, remaining of tropical plants
Arctic brush, many kinds of tropical trees lived across the equator.

why do you think many animals and plants did not become fossils
Antarctica is polar: tropical plants grow in the tropics. There are no tropical plants in Antarctica.
