When an ice age begins, the continental ice sheets grow, steadily reducing the amount of water evaporated from the ocean that will eventually return to it. 》 当冰原期开始的时候,大量的减少了海洋的蒸发Because heavier isotopes tend to be left behind when water evaporates from the ocean surfaces, the remaining ocean water becomes progressively enriched in oxygen 18. 》 因为海洋蒸发的时候,通常oxygen18会留在大海中,导致海洋中的oxygen浓度越来越高-------------------------------------------------------------------- 根据以上两条,可以得出1,冰原导致蒸发减少2,蒸发减少导致海洋中的 oxygen18浓度减少了3,所以oxygen浓度越高时,冰原是越少的但是段落结尾怎么又出来一句 The higher the ratio of oxygen 18 to oxygen 16 in a sedimentary specimen, the more land ice there was when the sediment was laid down. 》 海洋沉淀物中的oxygen18比例越高,那么冰原就越多??谁能帮解释解释?谢谢 -- by 会员 maxiv (2011/11/10 16:14:51)
你前面有一个地方推错了,第一点,减少的不是蒸发量,是蒸发了以后还会回到海洋的水的量。所以,冰原越多,能够回到海洋的水越少,18浓度就越高。 |
