The Plateau of Tibet is a dry place. Do you think the wide-leafed plant fossils found on the plateau could grow there today? Explain your answer.

Answer:

No. The leaves are similar to those of plants found in lower elevations with plenty of rainfall, like the plants seen at the lower elevations of the Himalayas. Because the Plateau of Tibet has risen over time, it is not likely that these plants could live in these colder climates.

No, I dont think that they could grow there now in this day and age becuase the Plateu of Tbiet is very dry and also a little bit dusty. They barely even have grass down there. Wide leaf plants susually grow somewhee like the rainforest where it is warm, sunny, and rainy but in a place like Tibet, I don't think that they would be able to survive there.
