Solved: How are past temperatures determined from ice
Chapter 20, Problem 85P(choose chapter or problem)
How are past temperatures determined from ice cores obtained from the Arctic or Antarctica? (Hint: Look up the stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen. How does energy required for vaporization depend on the masses of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) molecules containing different isotopes? How would you determine the age of an ice core?)
