Geologic temperature record
ID: geologic-temperature-record
The geologic temperature record refers to the historical variations in Earth’s temperature over geological timescales, as inferred from various natural proxies preserved in the geologic record. This record provides insights into past climate conditions, allowing scientists to understand how temperatures have changed over millions of years and how these changes are related to Earth's natural processes, such as volcanic activity, solar radiation, and the configuration of continents.
