There are quite a few ways for scientists to determine old weather patterns. Firstly, old records are quite useful. Meteorological devices have been around for a very long time, in fact, Galileo Galilei created a thermoscope in the late 1500's that would be similar to the modern thermometer.
Another way is to determine the Climates in the past. This can be done through cutting down trees and examining the rings in the trunk. A tree develops about a ring a year, and if the ring is thick, the year had lots of rainfall, if it's thin, then there wasn't much rain. Some trees date back thousands of years giving long and accurate reports.
Scientists can also determine climate from studying rock faces and observing the mineral deposits. As rock accumulates on the surface certain minerals appear and disappear at certain rates. This can show wind patterns, water patterns, and the patterns of foliage and fauna on the surface at the time of rock's formation.
Thirdly, Scientist can study global climate through cutting cross-sections of ice out of glaciers or the ice caps where ice has been accumulating for millenia. They can see how much of certain gasses, or seeds, were in the air at times, and determine how those would affect the global climate.
Fourthly, in the same way scientists cut the ice, they can also cut mud or silt straight out of the ground and examine it for certain pollen types, fossils, artefacts, or other clues about old weather in that area.
Hope this helped!
probably because if the plants fossils are in good condition they could tell that it was wet and warm or if there were all these dead animals and plants they could tell it got warm and dry
through primary sources and oral stories
By looking for/at the remains left behind in the rocks by these events.
scientists study plants by putting them into?
There was no written information or data taken during that time period.
No. Ecologists study nature and scientists study just about everything.Further answerAn ecologist is a scientist, but not all scientists are ecologists.
pure
a hydrologist
they use artifacts and fossils from the past
There are a number of things that scientists study to learn about prehistory. This will include archaeological facts and fossil evidence which gives an explanation of how most things came into being.
We study that in a subject called Geology.
The study of humans from prehistory to modern times is known as anthropology. It includes investigating human evolution, societies, cultures, languages, and behavior to understand the diversity and development of the human species over time.

Because .. They Both Study ... Prehistory.. and History... You can always Google it... :) Hoped I hepled xx
It began in prehistory and so that there is no evidence of its starting date.
The study of culture and biology and how they work together to influence human evolution.
Tens of thousands of years ago the land we call south caroina didn't keep records and we call that prehistory
why do you think scientists study earths interior?if you were a scientists ,will you undertake a study of the earths interior?
Scientists do not study family trees. Geneticists are scientists who study genetics and inheritance. Genealogists study family trees, but they are not scientists.
