Wegener would have concluded that they support his theory of continental drift. The presence of plant fossils in Svalbard, which indicate that those plants once thrived in a subpolar climate, would suggest that the current geographic location of Svalbard (which is now much colder) was once situated in a different climatic zone. This would align with his idea that continents had moved over geological time, thus supporting the concept of continental drift.
How would Wegener have interpreted the fossil evidence, if it showed the plants at Svalbard in Norway lived long ago in a subpolar climate?
