What is the relationship between benthic 18o and past climate?

Geography
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Its presence is a good determinant of past hot climates. Its absence can also indicate cold climates.

Explanation:

18O and 16O are oxygen Isotopes, and are used in determining past climates. Heavier than the 16O with 10 neutrons and 8 protons, the 18O does not evaporate as easily and because of this, higher amounts are found in the tropics.

Together, they serve as good determinants of past climate by checking for their ratio in fossils.

Also the 18O isotopes are not present in polar regions as they precipitate before getting to higher altitudes. Cold areas, on the other hand, are high in 16O as they get trapped in glaciers. When climate changes in a location, the quantity of both of these oxygen isotopes also changes.

Which of the following are responses to a shrinking population (mark all that are correct)
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Responses to a shrinking population are birth bonuses, governments reducing taxes or paying for part of daycare for new parents, and policies or rules that allow for parents to work flexible hours, part-time and/or take leaves from work without losing their  jobs.

Explanation:

A is correct because by giving bonuses to the parents for every child they have, the governments are trying to stimulate them economically to do so.

B is not correct because advertising to take your children somewhere doesn't help people deciding to have or not have children.
