Subglacial weathering may have slowed Earth's escape from snowball Earth
1+ week, 4+ day ago (319+ words) image:Water (H2O) sublimates from the sea ice surface, is transported via atmospheric circulation, and is then deposited as snow or re-sublimated at high altitudes. This water transport is ultimately balanced by a subglacial drainage system and glacial flow. view more…...
