How Do The Milankovitch Cycles Affect The Ice Ages? A century ago, Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovitch hypothesized the long-term, collective effects of changes in Earth’s position relative to the Sun are a strong driver of Earth’s long-term climate, and are responsible for triggering the beginning and end of glaciation periods (Ice Ages). How does the

How Frequently Do Milankovitch Cycles Occur? Subsequent research confirms that they did occur at 41,000-year intervals between one and three million years ago. But about 800,000 years ago, the cycle of Ice Ages lengthened to 100,000 years, matching Earth’s eccentricity cycle. How many Milankovitch cycles have there been? Milankovitch’s calculations and charts, which were published
