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.

How thick is each 8 layer of the Earth?
There are five basic layers of the Earth, being the crust, upper mantle, inner mantle, outer core, and inner core. Of these, the lithosphere is composed of the crust and upper mantle, and the asthenosphere is part of the mantle, below the lithosphere.
What is the core mantlecrust?
It's the core, mantle, and crust. They're the layers of the Earth.
Is earth divided by composition into three layers?
The 3 main layers of earth (crust, mantle, core) are divided into crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core.
What are earth 's layers?
First is crust then mantle the outer core then inner core
What is the order of the earth's inner layers?
Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
The different layers in an ice core are visible because?

Does Jupiter have an iron core?
Scientists believe that Jupiter's core may contain both iron and nickel. The core also contains water, ammonia and methane ice layers.
What are the two layers of the core?
what are the two layers of the core
What is the inner layers of Ceres?
There is actually a lot of different layers. The 3 most basic are the thin, dusty outer crust...the rocky inner core...and the water- ice layer
Why are ice layers important to know?
ice layers are so important to know because describes the history of the ice layers. so scientist can study the ice layers.
Layers of the earth's core?
From the outer most layer in, the layers are: Crust Mantle Outer Core Inner Core
What are Jupiter's layers?
Jupiter has 3 layers called the crust core and inner core.
How does an ice core provide information about earths history?
An ice core provides information about Earth's history by capturing and preserving a record of past climate conditions. The ice layers contain air bubbles that trap atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, which can be analyzed to understand past atmospheric composition. Additionally, isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in the ice can reveal information about past temperatures and climate patterns.
What type of Earth layers are the lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere outer core and inner core?
They are physical layers as opposed to chemical layers.
What are the two layers of earth's core?
The inner core and the outer core.
Does earth have five layers?
no it has four main layers. They are the crust, mantle, inner core and outer core
