Equatorial Earth has been covered by glaciers

A recent study found that the Earth equator with wet characteristics was covered by an ice layer about 700 million years ago.

This discovery provides convincing evidence for the 'Snowball Earth' theory of the ancient Earth, while also demonstrating that in some locations and appropriate areas some rocks were once covered with rivers. ice.

Harvard scientist Francis, USA, is in charge of the research team with other colleagues who conducted a series of Canadian volcanic rock studies found in Canadian ice sheets.

Scientists have discovered many sediments in the geological stratum after distinguishing residual materials when the glaciers melt. They then concluded that these sediments were altered in shape due to the movement of glaciers.

After comparing the above conclusion with previous geological studies, scientists discovered volcanic rocks that were formed in Canada's equatorial Earth.

Experiencing the shifting effects of Earth's plates over a long period of time, these stones were trapped between northern and northwestern Canada.

After using Mass Spectrometry to test, scientists confirmed that volcanic rocks and other materials remained after the melting ice was formed about 700 million years ago.

The study of Earth's evolution offers new suggestions for scientists in studying global warming. For example, millions of years ago our planet has fluctuated constantly during the period between the frost and the greenhouse environment.

Scientist Francis said the finding showed us the particularly important role of studying 'natural experiments' on the changing history of the Earth.

The results from these studies completely outstrip the data obtained through computer simulations.
