Explanation:

It indicates that the land where Spitbergen is now was once at a tropical latitude. This is explained by the theory of plate tectonics

Plate tectonics holds that the Earth’s crust is divided into plates that move incrementally due to various forces, and that continental plates have been moving all over the Earth’s surface for billions of years.

Fossils of tropical fruits

It indicates that the land where Spitsbergen is currently was once at a tropical parallel. This is clarified by the theory of plate tectonics.

Unlike Axel Heiberg of Canada, Spitzbergen didn't move significantly away from lower to a higher altitude in the past 45 million years. However, the two territories show deposits of coal with fossil proof of warm-climate animals and vegetation.

This was not environmental change because of tectonic movements’ crosswise latitude yet an interlude of internationally warm environmental change during the Eocene period.

Answer from: Quest

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.
