What would the hydrological cycle of the Earth be like if the seas were frozen from equator to pole ("Snowball Earth")? This diagram shows the exchange of water between atmosphere, ocean, and ice according to a simplified climate model. Sea ice in our model is hundreds of meters thick everywhere, and flows glacially under its own weight from pole to equator.
