Sea salt may have made Snowball Earth far colder than previously thought
Salt crystals left behind on extremely cold tropical sea ice may …

Scottish and Irish rocks confirmed as rare record of 'snowball Earth'

The Port Askaig Formation was likely laid down between 662 to 720 million years ago during the #SturtianGlaciation—the first of two global freezes thought to have triggered the development of complex, multicellular life. One exposed outcrop of the formation is unique as it shows the transition into #SnowballEarth from a previously warm, tropical environment.
Recent research unveils the mysteries behind Earth's ancient ice age, the Sturtian glaciation, which plunged the planet into a snowball state 700 million years ago. Led by Australian geologists, the study attributes historically low volcanic CO2 emissions and rock weathering in Canada to trigger and prolonging the glaciation, offering insights into Earth's climate dynamics.
