42、 scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Doctors Stevenson is analyzing one elementcarbon-14 in ring from both living and dead trees. Some of the tings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carben-14 trail back in time, he found
43、 carbon-4 levels change with the intensity of solar burning. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely and other times its relatively calm. During the suns violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving strings called solar winds. The particles interfere with the form
