I have the same question!! Well, these things show earth's geological history because they show the climate changes in the past and organisms that lived in different environments. Rocks change over time due to a series of events, showing evidence of things that once happened on Earth. They are very important to science!
how do sediments deposited in the ocean basins record the history of earths climate a climate change

After Earths materials are deposited.
rock
sedimentary rock
Its because the suns variability actually has a big impact on earths climate.
Sediments is pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth's surface. The sediments have been deposited by wind, water, ice, gravity, or chemical precipitation.

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.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
