Tools to study Paleoclimatolgy -short note
Answers
Answer:
Paleoclimatology (or Palaeoclimatology) is the study of past climate changes throughout Earth history. Earth's climate has varied substantially over its long history, on a wide range of timescales. However, records of climate from satellites and meteorological stations are limited to the past 150 years or so. Everything we know about climate prior to about 1850 is, therefore, inferred via other methods, including analysis of historical data, direct measurements of past conditions (such as carbon dioxide [CO2] in ice cores), and measurements of pale-oclimate “proxy” data. Historical or documentary evidence for past climatic conditions includes written temperature and precipitation records that can be found in ship logs, farm records, journals, and newspapers. These records, while useful, are limited to recent centuries.
