Atmosphere
Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.
Absolute zero is not about numbers. It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases.
You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.
The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us.
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.
When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.
The answer is C, because the water molecules are evaporating and the salt molecules are staying the same.
