Layers of ice in a glacier or permanent ice pack form a sort of history. Snow falls on top of older layers of snow, and as it builds up the snow at the bottom gets compressed into ice.
The gases in each layer represent the composition of the air at the time

What kinds of gases are in magma?
mostly water vapor,and some carbon dioxide.minor Sulfur,Chlorine, and Fluorine gases
What are the different types of soils in the Tundra biome?
There isn't really much soil in most tundras but there is some. It is located under the snow above the layer of permafrost (a thick layer of ice that doesn't melt).
What are 3 primary agents of weathering?
water ice gases
What is a permanent layer of ice under the soil?
Permafrost
How does an ice storm happen?
An ice storm occurs when there is a layer of warm air between 2 layers of cold air. The precipitation is like freezing rain that freezes in the first layer of cold air then melts in the warm layer then refreezes in the 2nd cold layer.
Why are gases in each of layer of ice different?
Layers of ice in a glacier or permanent ice pack form a sort of history. Snow falls on top of older layers of snow, and as it builds up the snow at the bottom gets compressed into ice. The gases in each layer represent the composition of the air at the time
Why are the gases in the layers of ice different?
because you need different riss of gases in each cube of ice
What is planet Saturn made of?
It is made of gases. It's core is rock and ice. The outer layer and the second layer is both gases. The layer around the core is of liquid.
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.
What would the result be of a destroyed ozone layer?
the ozone layer keeps the earth from overheating. As our gases are released into the air the ozone layer is fading, which causes global warming. If it was destroyed, the ice in the arctic would melt and we would die of floods because if only half of the Arctic ice melts the world would overflow.
Carbon dioxide is produced by?

What type of gases are on the dwarf planet Ceres?
Ceres has no gases. It is comprised of ice (water), carbonates, and clays. It is believed that it has a rocky core and an icy mantle, and some believe that there may be a layer of liquid water in its interior.
What the effect of green house effect on the ozone layer?
Short Answer: No. Greenhouse gases allow energetic radiation to pass unaffected, but moderate / slow the passage of infrared. Thinning of the ozone layer is called depletion, and is a different symptom. The green house effect is an observed phenomenon caused by many different types of gases. These gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and more. These gases trap heat from the sun within our atmosphere causing temperatures to rise on earth, much like a green house. They do not necessarily deplete ozone.Chlorofluorocarbons are gases that when released, deplete the ozone layer. These gases are usually found in refrigerators and air conditioners due to their ability to be easily compressed into liquids. They also used to be found in aerosol cans but environmental awareness about this issue has now made that illegal.
How does the layer of ice slows down the complete freezing of the water in the pond?
The ice layer act as an insulator.
Can solids and gases convert to each other?
Yes: these phenomenons are called sublimation and deposition.
Are comets made of ice gas and dust?
Yes they are made up of gas, ice, and dust. The long tail is a mix of gases. and remember a comet is different than an asteroid
Do gases exist in ice?
yes it does
