Answer:

Between the Equator and the Tropical Capricorn, and the Equator and the Tropical Cancer

Explanation:

The sun rays don't fall on the surface of the Earth at the same angle across all of it. The reason for this is the shape of the Earth, as it is a circular space body, or rather an ellipsoid.

The Equator is the place on Earth that is the most exposed to the sun rays throughout the year, which is why the climate is constant and without changes in this part of the world. The Equator always gets the sun rays at right angle, or very near the right angle.

The northern limit to where the sun rays fall at right angle is the Tropical Cancer, which gets the sun rays at right angle during the June solstice.

The southern limit to where the sun rays fall at right angle is the Tropical Capricorn, which gets the sun rays at right angle during the December solstice.

How does studying rocks and shells of aquatic organisms help scientists understand the history of Earth's climate?

patriot [66]

Earths history of climate is easily understandable through the study of existing rock and shells aquatic organisms. Rocks came into the earth million of years ago. So, the study of age determinism of rock gives an idea of climate through which it has come across. This is called paleontology.

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.
