Which finding from Asmerom and colleagues' study, if true, would most directly support their conclusion?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which finding from Asmerom and colleagues' study would best support their conclusion regarding the behavior of the ITCZ during the Little Ice Age, based on data from two cave locations.
Answer
Option D.
The final answer is more likely to be D: The Yok Balum data and the Huagapo data show strongly correlated patterns of high rainfall during the Little Ice Age.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is more likely to be D: The Yok Balum data and the Huagapo data show strongly correlated patterns of high rainfall during the Little Ice Age.
More Information
The expansion of the ITCZ, showing correlated rainfall patterns, supports the conclusion more directly by indicating a regional climatic effect rather than localized anomalies.
Tips
Carefully assess how each finding relates to the conclusion of regional expansion, not just shifts.
