The different layers of ice can tell us a lot of things. They can tell us how much snow accumulated in a particular season, similar to looking at tree rings. They also contain atmospheric gases trapped in the ice. This gives an indication of the composition of the atmosphere at the time, since the ice can be dated.

What does layers of rock tell us about earth's past?

The layers found in the earth can tell scientists what type of environment was around at the time, what type of flower and plants, temperatures and even animals as the remains build up and go hard making rock.
