How Do The Milankovitch Cycles Affect The Ice Ages?

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 Can Scientist Determine The Milkanovich Cycles?

How Can Scientist Determine The Milkanovich Cycles? Milankovitch cycles include the shape of Earth’s orbit (its eccentricity), the angle that Earth’s axis is tilted with respect to Earth’s orbital plane (its obliquity), and the direction that Earth’s spin axis is pointed (its precession). What are the Milankovitch cycles and about how often do they cycle?
