Scottish and Irish rocks date back 700M years to 'snowball Earth' era

The rocky formations across Scotland and Ireland are remnants from the Snowball Earth era, around 700 million years ago.
The Snowball Earth period likely facilitated the development of complex, multicellular life on Earth.

What did the snowball Earth look like?

The Tavakaiv sandstones in Colorado provide evidence of conditions during the Cryogenian glaciation, enhancing our understanding of global glaciation events.

The Physics of Cold Water May Have Jump-Started Complex Life

Cold seawater turning viscous may have driven single-celled ocean creatures to become multicellular during 'Snowball Earth.'

How Earth Might Have Turned Into a Snowball

Earth's glaciation may have been caused by a global drop in carbon dioxide emissions, making it more difficult for the atmosphere to trap heat.
Understanding past climate changes can help scientists better understand current climate trends and the impact of human activities on CO2 in the atmosphere.
