Although the interactions between orbital parameters are major external ... acting from outside the climate system (e.g., Milankovitch cycles). Internal mechanisms operate within the climate ...

These orbital variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, describe how Earth’s path around the Sun changes over tens to hundreds of thousands of years. These changes influence the amount of solar ...

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters ... they are referred to as Milankovitch cycles, after the early ...

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its orbit—may influence the timing of massive volcanic eruptions, reshaping our ...

All three of orbital cycles — called Milankovitch cycles — impact African climate on long geologic timescales, but the cycle with the most influence on the rains in Africa is the "wobble ...

The Milankovitch cycles are not a new theory, but still bear discussing. As both the article and Virusrex have said, much more influential that the Earth's orbital cycles are the effects of humanity ...

In the future, northern hemisphere summer will take place when Earth is closer to the sun, as Earth's orbital elongation, or eccentricity, varies. The Milankovitch cycles are all caused by the ...
