CLIMATE CHANGE: GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE
Geological evidence for climate change is found in sedimentary
deposits such as
glacial deposits,
stream deposits,
ocean shore deposits,
as well as in
soils.
Oxygen isotope ratios
provide evidence for climate change
when used to interpret
ocean bed cores
and
polar ice cores.
