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.

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Geography affects History.

Geography is the setting of History story's.

Geography influence History.

Explanation:

GEOGRAPHY is the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and the interaction between human beings and physical environment. While HISTORY is the record of human activities in the old times comprising civilizational marches in different periods spent in the lap of time.

History is mostly shaped and enriched by prevalent geographical settings.

The climate aspect of geography also largely influences the history and its characteristics. Geographical features like mountains and plains have had equally profound impact on human history. Mountains invariably influence the history of many countries.
