sea sediment‚ a change in sea level and retreating glaciers all can show heating and cooling. Ice cores can be analysed as every year a new layer of ice will form and so the trapped gases from each year can be analysed. Sediments on the sea floor can similarly be analysed for the amount of O-16 or O-18 gas is present‚ as a colder climates would have more O-18 present. Sea level change is affected by changes such as ice melting‚ so if glaciers are retreating further there will be more water in the
