Snowball Earth Resulted from plate tectonics

The Geoscientist ache approximately when the earth converted  from single closure to plate tectonics with the plate crumbling from one plate to two plates and so on the existent global system of seven major and many smaller plates. But trunk highlights geological and theoretical suggestion that plate tectonics began between 800million and 600million years ago, and have circulated several articles arguing for this timing.

Numerous systems have been projected to explain what generated this histrionic cool down, which occurred during a geological era called the Neoproterozoic. Now two geologists at The University of Texas at Dallas and UT Austin suggest that those major weather changes can be linked to one thing: the advent of plate tectonics.


Plate tectonics is a theory expressed in the late 1960s that states the Earth's crust and upper mantle  a layer called the lithosphere is broken into moving pieces, or plates. These plates move very slowly about as fast as your fingernails and hair grow triggering earthquakes, mountain ranges and volcanoes.
