Where do scientists obtain ice cores from?
Glaciers and/or the Arctic/Antarctic ice caps.
The Antarctic ice cap was found to be an abdudant source of?
The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 70% of the earth's fresh water and about 90% of the earth's store of ice. As well, the ice sheet can be drilled. Studying cores reveals a history of planet earth's environment going back millions of years.
What are ice cores for climate analysis drawn from?
The cores are drilled from the ice itself - ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
How do scientists learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago?
Ice cores are useful for scientists who want to learn about the climate in Antarctica thousands of years ago.
How do tree rings and ice cores help scientist understand how Earth has changed over time?
Scientist drill into ice and remove ice cores for study. Scientist analynze air trapped in the ice to learn how the atmosphere has changed. Scientists can develop an accurate history of overall weather patterns over time.
How much is the percent of the ice in the antarctica?
One hundred percent of the ice...in the Antarctic, is ice in the Antarctic.
How does ice layers show the history of Earths climate?
Ice cores drilled through the thickest glaciers at Earth's poles show the layers of snow that were deposited each season kind of like tree rings. The deepest layer in the deepest ice core is the oldest and in Antarctic, continuous ice cores date back at least 750,000 years. Gases and particles of dust trapped in the snow forming the layers in the cores continuously preserves samples of the atmosphere and these can be analyzed to provide a record of the climate prevailing as each layer was deposited.
How does a ice cores change?
You can see it!
Where do Antarctic Ice fish live?
The Antarctic of course.
Is antarctic region is covered by ice?
Ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent is covered by an ice sheet.
What is the frozen desert?
The Antarctic Desert is a polar or ice desert.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet in the Southern Hemisphere .?
The antarctic ice sheet in the southern hemisphere is the only true ice sheet that remains on the planet.
