In which of the following ways is the study of tree rings and speleothems (cave formations) for understanding past climatic conditions similar?
A) The fossilized form of each is used for understanding past climatic conditions. B) The chronology each can provide only dates back to a maximum of 1,000 years and are, therefore, only useful for relatively recent climatic trends. C) Both are examples of macrofossils and can be used to determine plant and animal assemblages of bygone times. D) Each are composed of organic materials and are therefore used solely for radiocarbon dating. E) Each have growth bands, yielding evidence of the conditions under which they formed and grew.
