Which of the following is not part of the Milankovich Cycle, which would affect climate change by reducing the distribution of incoming solar radiation?
A)Obliquity
B)Accretion
C)Eccentricity
D)Precession

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accretion is not part of the Milankovitch Cycle. The Milankovitch Cycle includes obliquity (changes in the tilt of Earth's axis), eccentricity (changes in Earth's orbit shape), and precession (changes in the direction of Earth's axis). These cycles affect the distribution of incoming solar radiation and can have a significant impact on climate change. Accretion, on the other hand, refers to the process of planetary formation through the accumulation of dust and gas, and does not directly affect climate change.
