ASB 222 exam 2 Questions with Correct Answers
Question 1:
What are some Methods of Identifying Environmental Effects
Answer:
Sea Cores
Ice Cores
Question 2:
Sea Cores
-Most of that sediments are made up of small dead microorganisms
Answer:
Sediments at the bottom of the sea that accumulates very slowly.
-utilized by looking at the stratigraphies by studying the layers
Question 3:
How does global climate affect sea cores? thrives: some in hot water, cold water
2.) The water temperature will affect the direction in which their shells form
Answer:
1.)Temperature will affect which species
Question 4:
3.) Most important: the global temperature will affect the chemistry of the shell. How does
global temperatue affect will fluctuate with global climate
-This can help us reconstruct global climate
Answer:
The proportions of light to heavy oxygen in water
Question 5:
-We use fluctuations in light/heavy oxygen in foraminiferan shell to track climate change. We
track the ratio of light to heavy water. Ice Cores then.
Answer:
Each individual layer can help determine what season, climate was like back
-a sample of layers of snow and ice that have collected over a period of a series of years that
offers a continuous record of events and conditions.
, Question 6:
What are some macrobotanical remains?-PLant Residues-wood (charcoal)
Answer:
-seeds and fruits
Question 7:
The fossilized nest can be preserved for thousands for years and help discover what
Answer:
-Fossil pack rats nests (The rats are grabbing stuff in order to help create their nests had
occurred in local area)
Question 8:
What are examples of micobotanical remains?
Answer:
Pollen (palynology)
Question 9:
What is palynology? archaeological science. the atmosphere.
Answer:
-Most powerful tool for reconstructing a local environment in
Question 10:
-Pollen grains are microorganisms that are being shedded from plants and spread to -Preserves
extremely well and can survive for thousands of years. What can be used as human remains in
bioarcharology?
-flesh and tissues (rarely preserved)
the shape of the bodies after they have disappeared.
Answer:
-bones
cremations
Question 11:
- specific bones such as the pelvic bone How can it be difficult to determine the sex/age of
children?
