Which Statement best summarizes the Milankovitch Cycle? a The stable position of the Earth has no relation to climate change on Earth. b The altering orbital movements of the Earth affect the amount of solar radiation allowed into the atmosphere, which impacts climate like glaciation and deglaciation at the poles. c Earth's precession (wobble on its axis) gives us predictable seasonal changes. d Jupiter is pulling on the Earth, causing a more severe elliptical orbit, which will also pull the ice caps closer to the equator.
