Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is evidence of climate change due to geological evolution?
A
minerals found in the oceans
B
index fossils found in desert areas
C
dry streambeds found in some areas
D
fossils from tropical plants found in arctic regions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many small organisms can be preserved within these layers of sediment through time. The changing abundances of these fossils through time can tell us whether a change in the environment or climate was gradual or abrupt. Studying fossil pollen and other fossils helps scientists to learn more about climate change.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is the link between fossil fuels and climate change? When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Already the average global temperature has increased by 1C.
