Milankovitch Cycle

What are the three types of Milankovitch Cycle

• eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession.

• eccentricity, obliquity, and precession

• eccentricity and obliquity

How do the Milankovitch cycles affect climate?

• These cycle affects the amount of sunlight and therefore, energy, that Earth absorbs from the Sun.

• The cycle use energry for the cycle to work

• none of the above
