Deposits of coal have

been found beneath the ice of Antarctica.
But coal only forms in warm swamps. Use
Wegener's hypothesis to explain how coal
could be found so near to the South Pole.

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wegener's hypothesis is that all off the land on the planet was once a single land mass. Then, this land mass broke up to become the continents. The large land mass was called Pangaea, in Wegener's hypothesis. Viewing the coast lines of the continents can indicate where they might fit together, like puzzle pieces, helping to support Wegener's hypothesis.
