Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Data about temperature variations, patterns in ocean circulation, and the productivity of the marine
biosphere and upwelling can be collected by analyzing the stable isotopes of oxygen and variations in
carbon isotopes. Also, the presence of trace metals, found within the carbonate shells of these
microfossils, can provide information on the ocean and atmosphere of the past. Information can be
found in the section Sediments Are Historical Records of Ocean Processes.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Siliceous ooze persists at deeper depths than calcareous ooze. This ooze contains radiolarian and
diatoms. Radiolarians are glassy, amoeba-like organisms. Information can be found in the section
Pelagic Sediments Vary in Composition and Thickness
