“…Paleomagnetic data from worldwide continents can not only confirm such a large-scale paleogeographic reorientation through the TPW, but also directly give the latitudes for the glacial deposits, because this new interpretation requires a mid-to-high-latitudedominated ice cover; (2) climatic numerical simulations. In Decoding the Puzzle of Late Ediacaran Glaciation(s) principle, large-scale continents shifting, or mountain buildup could affect the surficial system (Niu et al, 2024), simulations of climate would be an effective way to go, as worked on the Cryogenian Snowball Earth state (e.g., Cox et al, 2016). Also, this process is a good link between deep and shallow geodynamics to the geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere as pointed by Raub et al (2007), may also provide a new start to understand the coevolution of the Earth's system, including life and surficial environment on the eve of 'Cambrian Explosion', or it is already on the way (e.g., Wang et al, 2023a;Zhang et al, 2023;Rooney et al, 2020).…”
