In water molecules from ice cores, the ratios of isotopes, 2H/¹H and 180/160 depends upon temperature of the water that precipitates from an air mass, and thus on average climatic temperatures. This allows climatologists to determine historical temperatures from analysis of the isotope ratios of hydrogen and oxygen in water molecules from ice cores. As temperature increases, the 180/160 ratio [Select] ✓and the 2H/¹H ratio [Select]
