Answer;

-past temperatures

The ratio of oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 isotopes in plankton fossils in deep-sea sediments can be used to determine past temperatures.

Explanation;

-O-16 will evaporate more readily than O-18 since it is lighter, therefore; during a warm period, the relative amount of O-18 will increase in the ocean waters since more of the O-16 is evaporating.

-Hence, looking at the ratio of O16 to O18 in the past can give clues about global temperatures.

How are acids and bases defined by bronsted lowry?​
lesantik [10]

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a chemical species that donates one or more hydrogen ions in a reaction. In contrast, a Bronsted-Lowry base accepts hydrogen ions. When it donates its proton, the acid becomes its conjugate base. A more general look at the theory is as an acid as a proton donor and a base as a proton acceptor. :)
