Question
what can you tell from ice cores?
a. atmosphere, temperature, climate, and volcanoes
b. animals
c. plants
d. humans
Ice cores contain trapped air bubbles that can reveal information about the past atmosphere. The isotopic composition of water in ice cores can indicate past temperatures. By analyzing ice cores over long periods, scientists can understand past climate patterns. Additionally, volcanic ash layers can be found in ice cores, providing information about volcanic activity. Animals, plants, and humans are not directly and primarily studied from ice cores in the way the question implies.
