TL;DRAbstract

Throughout this book we have described features on the surface that almost certainly imply that climatic conditions in the past were different from those that prevail today. Among others, these include valley networks, lakes, oceans, deltas, hydrated minerals, water-lain sediments, evaporites, glacial deposits, ice-rich veneers, and ice at low latitudes. In this chapter we briefly re-examine what these features might imply about the climatic history of the planet and explore what might have caused the climatic variations.
