Il sale potrebbe aver accelerato il processo della “Terra a palla di neve” 700 milioni di anni fa

#climatologia #Snowball Earth
@scienze @ambiente

l nostro pianeta precipitò in uno degli stati climatici più drammatici della sua lunga storia circa 720–635 milioni di anni fa. Durante un periodo che i geologi chiamano Snowball Earth, le calotte glaciali avanzarono dai poli fino ai tropici, coprendo oceani e continenti in un congelamento quasi globale.

Near the former RFK Stadium is one big, dirty snowball. How long will it take to melt it?

For three weeks, the District’s snow removal crews have been trucking most of D.C.’s excess snow and ice to one of the former RFK Stadium parking lots. For three weeks, the District’s snow removal crews have been trucking most of...

Hey @jeffjarvis check this out. Snowball fights are now being framed by Everybody's Favorite Fascist Newspaper as a "political flashpoint." Not even Orwell could satirize this.

Some 700 million years ago, #Earth would have looked like a blinding white #snowball.

During the #Cryogenian period, from 720 million to 635 million years ago, the Earth was buried by massive ice sheets that marched from the poles to the tropics.

Surface temperatures were as low as -50°C.

Because the bright, white surface of the #planet reflected the Sun’s energy – a phenomenon known as the albedo effect – the Earth remained locked in this extreme climate state for tens of millions of years.

This seems an unlikely cradle for #life, yet new evidence suggests the frozen #ocean featured restricted ice-free oases that provided a lifeline for our earliest complex ancestors.
