(b) Wobble, axial tilt, and ellipticality work together to create the patterns of glaciation. Based on the radiation budget equation above, describe how these Milankovitch cycles could alter the Earth's climate, and more importantly, the climate for a particular location on Earth.

Question
5) A study published by Milankovitch many years ago describes the Earth as going through various orbital cycles (depicted in Fig. 10.5 below). These Milankovitch cycles can be summarized as: a) Orbital eccentricity - shifts in the shape of Earth's orbit from a more circular shape to a more elliptical shape over ~100,000 years b) Axial tilt-shifts in the tilt of the Earth's axial tilt from roughly 22° to 24.5° over roughly 40,000 years c) Axial precession - Earth's north pole circulates like a top, or wobbles, over about 25,000 years Elliptical orbit Wobble Earth's axis "wobbles" over a 26,000-year cycle. Wobble Axial tilt Ellipticality of orbit Hot Stages of glaciation Sun Earth's elliptical orbit varies widely during a 100,000-year cycle.
