Temperate climate plants were found in Antartica because scientists think that Antartica used to be a warm place. For example, scientists discovered that Pangaea was a continent filled with other continents and that made one big continent. So scientists think that plants were found in Antartica because maybe Antarctica used to be a warm place. While the continents began to separate, the one big continent turned into many continents and that formed many continents.
          After million of years have past, the continents' climates started to change while they moved to different places. Then the continent Antartica grew more cold because it was moving more to the north and that is where the climate is very cold. After the continents settled down, the climates of all of the continents changed and the ocean currents changed too. So that is why temperate climate plants were found in Antartica. Oh and when the continents moved that is called continental drift. Also there are many ways that the continents can move.
