B. Trail of tears
From 1831-1850 Native Americans were forced, by the government, from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern US to to designated areas in the Western plains. Many of the Native Americans died on the journey from starvation, disease and exposure. Some of the tribes forced to relocate were the Seminole, Cherokee, Chickasaw and Ponca.
Ice cores can tell scientists about temperature, precipitation, atmospheric composition, volcanic activity, and even wind patterns. The thickness of each layer allows scientists to determine how much snow fell in the area during a particular year.
