Explanation:

In studying  Earth's history of climate scientists take help of available rocks and body parts of aquatic animals. As rocks are the most eventful findings on the earth's surface which has come across million of  years and witnessed several changes. These study if changes in rock is called paleontology.

Shells of aquatic animal which found in underwater are also a good evidence of earth's history of climate. It is found in the layers of sedimentary rock which is soft in nature and found in layerwise. Where all the organism became fossil after death and its body parts remains in the form of stone.
