Abstract

And Gumsley says other large eruptions probably took place at this time in Siberia, China, Africa, and Antarctica, adding to the overall weathering effect. Still, Halverson says weathering may have been a key factor then, too, because all the scouring by glaciers during the earlier Snowball would have exposed fresh rock. [Extracted from the article]
