What do ice core layers contain?
The layers in an ice core sample shows the different levels of matter (gasses, dust, etc) that were present in the earth's atmosphere at any stage in the past hundred thousand years. Each layer will be different according to how much gas or dust was in the atmosphere when the ice froze (trapping the gas and dust inside). These gas levels can be used for further research into issues like climate change.
Where is the majority of earths fresh water stored in glaciers icecaps and icebergs lakes plants or the atmosphere?
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.
What are earths 5 spheres in order?
Hydrosphere- All of the water on Earth and everything in it Atmosphere- All the air on Earth and everything in it Biosphere- All living things on Earth Geosphere- All of Earth (land, landforms, rocks) Cryosphere- All ice on Earth Exosphere- Everything outside of Earth (space)
What is Main reservoir for water on earth?
The Earth's water reservoirs from largest to smallest: Ocean Polar ice and Glaciers Groundwater Freshwater Lakes Saline Lakes Soil Moisture Atmosphere Rivers
Does the moon have an atmosphere like earth's atmosphere?

What is the ice on the moon made of?

Where is water found as ice?
It is found in the atmosphere.
Which system contains ice and glaciers?
atmosphere
What can bubble of atmosphere trapped in glacial ice tell us?
they can tell you when the ice froze :$
Which planet has a thin atmosphere and polar caps?
Mars has a thin atmosphere and polar caps made of a combination of water ice and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). The atmosphere on Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's atmosphere.
What is is in Uranus atmosphere?
Hydrogen, helium, and methane ice.
How are clouds made up of ice crystals?
The high atmosphere is very cold. so as soon as a gas cloud touches the high atmosphere it turns into a ice crystals.
Are water ice and rock part of the atmosphere?
For the most part, no. Some water is present in the atmosphere in the form of clouds and water vapor, but water and ice are generally considered part of the hydrosphere. Rocks compose the geosphere or lithosphere.
Why are ice cores good indicators of past climate?
Ice cores contain tiny bubbles that contain a sample of the atmosphere from that time period. By studying the ice bubbles, it is possible to reconstruct the composition of the atmosphere at that time and thus the climate.
What is on ganymedes surface?
Ice, with a thin oxygen-ozone atmosphere.
Is there ice on the planet Uranus?
there are trace ice crystals in the atmosphere swirling around faster then an F5 tornado but uranus has no solid surface and its core would be to hot so the question is yes it does have ice in atmosphere but not on the surface as it has none its a gas giant
Is water considered part of the atmosphere?
Bodies of water are not part of the atmosphere, but water vapor and water and ice in clouds are.
