Was Alberta in a tropical zone millions of years ago?

Yes, millions of years ago, during the late Cretaceous period, Alberta was located near the equator and was part of a tropical zone. This region had a warm, humid climate and was covered by shallow seas, creating rich ecosystems that supported diverse marine life, as well as lush vegetation on land. Fossils found in Alberta, including those of dinosaurs and various plants, provide evidence of its tropical past.
