Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the topic
Milankovitch cycle is responsible for climate change. It also plays an important role in short term weather change.
Milutin Milankovitch was a Serbian scientist. He examined the three types of Earth's orbital movement and how they affect solar radiation. If the shape of orbital changes, then the amount of solar energy will change and ultimately the climate pattern will change.
Milankovitch cycle includes three types of orbital variations
- shape of the Earth's orbit, eccentricity
- Obliquity,
- Direction of the Earth's axis of rotation, precession.
