How Milankovitch Cycles Are Causing Earths Climate To Change

How Milankovitch Cycles Are causing Earth’s Climate To Change Climate change and the Earth's ice ages are cyclical events that have occurred on Earth for thousands of years. However, until relatively recently, it was not known exactly what caused these cycles or how they occurred. But today, we know these have to do with “Milankovitch Orbital Variations (or Cycles).“ But exactly how do these cycles work, and what produces them? Can the Milankovitch Cycles help us predict how climate change will behave in the future? What are the Milankovitch Orbital Variations? Also known as the Milankovitch cycles, these periodic variations in the Earth's orbit and orientation influence long-term climate and are closely related to glaciations and interglacial periods. What are orbital elements? To better understand the Milankovitch cycles, we must first understand what orbital elements are. Orbital elements are parameters that describe the shape and orientation of the orb
