2. Scientists study bubbles trapped in ancient glacial ice to determine how concentrations of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gas have changed over time. However, bubbles in glacial ice cannot provide information about changes in phosphorus. Explain why air samples are not useful for this purpose, and propose an alternative method to study how the amount of phosphorus in a region has changed over time.

Paleontology

A branch of science concerning the scientific study of life from ancient times is known as paleontology. The scientists working on paleontology are known as paleontologists. Paleontologists collect the fossils of organisms from ancient times to classify them. The paleontologists also study the environment from ancient times to study the interactions between different organisms.
