That the rock where you found the fossil was at some point in a place with tropical climate, but has somehow moved to the place with a colder climate. This is generally accepted as proof of, and explained by, plate tectonic theory.
Umm...you could also conclude "if you found a fossil of a tropical plant in a cold climate?" that you need to put your coat on before venturing outside again...it's cold. And that somebody is playing a trick on you and planted the fossil just to see if you would take that coat off forgetting you were in a cold climate.
What else can I help you with?
Beneath a forest in the high mountains of Canada scientists found rock layers that contained uncovered fossils of tropical plants. What can we conclude based on this information?
# 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.
What part of the fossil is found?
Harder parts of organisms become fossils. For example vasculature in plants and bones of animals are best preserves in the fossils.
What evidence did wegener gather to support his continental drift hypothesis?
Well it wasn't so much climate as the fossils that have been found. Fossils have been found in Antarctica of plants that only occur in tropical climates so at one point it must have had a tropical climate. That is the most dramatic example but there are more subtle ones that led him to believe that the continents, at one point, must have been in different locations on the Earth and then moved to where they currently are.
What are tar fossils?

Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by ocean?
The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
Can fossils of tropical plants be found in deserts?
It is possible and would indicate that at some time in the past the desert area was not a desert.
Are fossils found in the desert?
Yes, fossils are found in deserts.

Does Mexico have a tropical desert?
Both the Chihuahuan Desert and the Sonoran Desert are considered tropical deserts and both are found in Mexico and the southwestern United States.
What type of fossil would be least likey found in antarctica?
Fossils of tropical plants and animals would be least likely found in Antarctica, as the continent's climate and environment are not conducive to supporting such organisms.
What Plants are found in The Iranian Desert?
Some plants that can be found in the Iranian desert include orchids, willow, and walnut.
What plants are found in tropical deserts?
Plants found in tropical deserts include cacti, succulents, shrubs, and grasses that are adapted to survive in hot and arid conditions. Examples include barrel cacti, agave plants, acacia trees, and thorn bushes. These plants have features such as water-storing tissues, reduced leaves, and deep root systems to help them thrive in the extreme desert environment.
Are prayer plants considered tropical plants?
Yes, prayer plants are considered tropical plants because they thrive in warm and humid environments similar to those found in tropical regions.
Are apple trees found in the tropical rain forest?
Of course not they are found in the middle of the desert
What will a fossil found in a desert most likely be?
A fossil found in a desert is likely to be a plant or animal that lived in a warm and dry climate. Common desert fossils include bones of ancient mammals, shells of marine organisms from when the desert was once a seabed, and traces of plants that existed during periods with higher moisture levels.
What type of vegetation is found in Africa's four regions?
you can go google it on images, and you can find a variety and plants, but since plants are scarce there, you might find it that shrubs are one of the things in africa.
