Did Earth Once Freeze Completely? New Evidence Found in Colorado Rocks
Recent research in Colorado’s Pikes Peak has uncovered crucial evidence supporting the Snowball Earth hypothesis. The discovery of Tava sandstone formations suggests that Earth experienced a global ice sheet about 700 million years ago. Using advanced radiometric dating, researchers pinpointed the formation of these sandstones to between 690 and ...
