Question

Which is one way that analyzing ice benefits scientists who study ancient climates? Scientists can analyze frozen volcanic dust to help predict eruptions. Scientists can drill deep into the ice to collect ice cores. Scientists can use pollen grains in ice to make inferences about the climate area. Scientists can study tree rings in ice to learn more about past climates.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

Scientists can drill deep into the ice to collect ice cores which contain trapped atmospheric gases

Explanation:

The study of past climates also known as paleoclimatology, is accomplished by acquiring information from proxy data sources which are physical environment characteristics that are preserved through time to remake the conditions of past climate

Past physical environmental characteristics, from which information about ancient climate can be gained are stored in nature's climate variability records including, ice cores, rings in tree stems, fossil pollen, sediments found in the waters of the ocean

The proxy sources provide a means of understanding the conditions of ancient climate before advent of climate measurement.

Therefore, one way that analyzing ice benefits scientists who study ancient climates is that scientists can drill deep into the ice to collect ice cores which contain trapped atmospheric gases from past climates.
