The whole sentence is as follows:
They analysed the trigger conditions for a glaciation, like the one that gripped Earth over 12,000 years ago.
I am not sure what "like" act as in this case, is it "像“ or "比如" and I totally got confused by the latter part of this sentence. Could you tell me how to translate it? Thank you very much.
