How do tree rings and ice cores help scientists understand how earth has changed over time

Biology
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
6 0
The study of tree rings is called dendrochronology. Trees produce a single growth ring each year and by studying the size and composition of each ring scientists can get information about the age of the tree, available nutrients in the area, and general climatic conditions. A relatively small ring may indicate a year when there was very little rainfall and a larger ring indicates favourable conditions for plant growth. 

Ice cores hold information on past global volcanic activity and past atmospheric conditions. Tiny bubbles in the ice cores give information on the concentration of gases in the atmosphere. Ice core data plays a key role in linking the increase in carbon dioxide concentrations to present day global warming.

Explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources and give an example of each.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Nonrenewable Resources take longer to be replenished, reneweable resources are easily replenished and easily accessible.

Explanation:

If something is Nonrenewable; for example fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, then that means that the organic matter is limited and not going to grow or be created easily on Earth.

Renewable Resources are usually classified into five categories; Hydro, Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Geothermal. All of these resources are easily accesible and can be used as a natural energy source.

Hope this helped :)
