... A water molecule H2O can form either from 16O or 18O (16 protons, but 18 neutrons). But the lighter isotope 16O evaporates more readily from the ocean. Thus, precipitation (hence glacial ice) is enriched in 16O. During the periods when glaciers are extensive, more lighter 16O is tied up in the ice, ...
