stalagmite story

 
13,000 year old stalagmite tells stories


other ways of estimating past climate such as tree ring data only tell about winter climates. During the region's damp winters, water from the ground seep through the cave ceiling and trickled onto the floor,with the drips slowly forming the stalagmite over time. the stalagmite provides imfo about ansient climates.I belive that this is important because it will shed lighton past climate situitions. Also it provides info about what the winter weather may have been like a long time ago and how people may have survived in the harsh weather.
