The ratio of oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 isotopes in plankton fossils in deep-sea sediments can be used to determine

Answer;

-past temperatures

The ratio of oxygen-16 and oxygen-18 isotopes in plankton fossils in deep-sea sediments can be used to determine past temperatures.

Explanation;

-O-16 will evaporate more readily than O-18 since it is lighter, therefore; during a warm period, the relative amount of O-18 will increase in the ocean waters since more of the O-16 is evaporating.

-Hence, looking at the ratio of O16 to O18 in the past can give clues about global temperatures.

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
