Question

which of these is one of the Milankovitch cycles?



changes in the time between Earth's seasons
changes in Earth's tilt
changes in the length of Earth's orbit
changes in the distance between Earth and the sun

Answer 1

One of the Milankovitch cycles is **changes in Earth's tilt**. The Milankovitch cycles refer to the long-term variations in Earth's orbit and axial orientation, which include:

1. Changes in Earth's axial tilt (obliquity)
2. Changes in the shape of Earth's orbit (eccentricity)
3. Precession of the equinoxes

Each of these factors influences the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth, impacting climate patterns over geological timescales.
