Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ocean sediment core analysis is an example of a method used for long-term climate reconstructions, as it can provide information on climate change that occurred thousands or even millions of years ago. The other options listed are all examples of methods used for short-term climate reconstructions, as they rely on analyzing climate proxies from relatively recent time periods (e.g. the past few hundred to a few thousand years).
