Recently scientists studied rocks on the Garvellach Islands in Scotland to understand the Snowball Earth period.
What is Snowball Earth?
Snowball Earth refers to episodes when Earth’s surface was almost entirely covered by ice, including oceans and tropical regions. It occurred mainly during the Cryogenian Period (720-635 million years ago).
It was triggered by feedback mechanisms such as increased ice cover raising Earth’s albedo (reflectivity) and reduced solar heat absorption, causing further cooling.
The possible causes include continental configurations near the equator, reduced greenhouse gases, and volcanic activity patterns.
