Ever since the term “Snowball Earth” was first proposed in a 1992 paper, it has prompted substantial debate among scientists.

Immense glaciers once covered the entire Earth, reaching even the equator, geologists have confirmed. The discovery that this ...

We have an extremely incomplete picture of what these snowball periods looked like, and Antarctic terrain provides different ...

Scientists observed that all examined craters are situated within 30 degrees of the equator. This concentrated impact area, ...

Once here, the researchers have suggested that the asteroid likely met a brutal end, ripped to shreds and scattered around the equator, leaving Earth with a halo of debris. The remnants of the ...

A recent study claims that Earth may have once had a ring system. This theory sheds light on the presence of an unusual density of impact craters around the equator dating back to the ...

So why is the temperature so different in different places? There is an imaginary circle called the equator that divides the Earth into two parts. The Sun is our heat source here on Earth.

Warm air rising from Earth's surface pushes the air mass away from the equator, and releases its moisture as precipitation as it travels pole-ward (Figure 1). If the Earth did not spin on its axis ...

The University of Victoria professor helped rewrite a crucial part of our planet’s history by identifying compelling evidence ...
