a) Many scenes depicted icy landscapes

b) paintings are proxy records since they only visually depict surroundings while the temperature and patterns throughout the years would be direct records.

a) Many scenes depicted icy landscapes

a) Scientists create tables and graphs to show temperature and precipitation trends to view the overall climate and how it changes

b) Scientists use rocks and other landscapes features and markings to predict what the climate was like to create such features as well as how animals may have evolved to live in certain regions due to its climate

c) The do not know that they are entirely accurate, but their models are created to be as accurate as possible

a) Scientists create tables and graphs to show temperature and precipitation trends to view the overall climate and how it changes

You could source weather records, paintings, and news articles

a) ice cores allow us to determine the amount of greenhouse gas present within the atmosphere during a certain time period

b) tree rings can show precipitation patterns and scarring from fire

c) By analyzing the chemicals in the ocean floor sediment the ocean currents can be interpreted which helps us predict how the ocean currents affected the surface temperature and air which affects land mass climates

a) ice cores allow us to determine the amount of greenhouse gas present within the atmosphere during a certain time period

They cannot directly determine temperature, but they can determine amounts of greenhouse gas present, which would help them predict temperature

Ice cores and tree rings are the most likely proxy records for dating back so far

They can release their studies and findings for analysis and confirmation from other climatologists around the world

Ice cores and tree rings are the most likely proxy records for dating back so far

Depending on where the fossil is found we can determine how the climate was based on the features of the organism that was fossilized
