Determining Past Climate Change - Ocean Floor Sediments
Scientists have employed many methods to piece together the past climatic record
One such method is to look at sediments on the ocean floor
Research vessels produce sediment profiles from the bottom of the ocean
the sediment contains calcium carbonate shells from organisms that have lived near the earth's surface in the past
the type of calcium carbonate shell can tell you something about temperature since some live only within narrow temperature ranges.
