Answer to Question 1

The most likely trigger for the Huronian glaciation was the decrease in CH4 that resulted from the rise of O2. The increased O2 concentrations would have eliminated much of the CH4 present in the atmosphere, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect.

Answer to Question 2

Tillites, glacial striations, dropstones, and 18O excursions are evidence of glaciations mentioned in the book.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
