Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Milankovitch cycles refer to variations in Earth's orbit and rotation around the sun, which can influence climate patterns over long periods of time. These cycles include changes in axial tilt, eccentricity of orbit, and precession of equinoxes, and can affect the amount and distribution of solar radiation received by different regions of the planet, potentially triggering changes in temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables.
