Changes in the shape of the Earth's orbit (or eccentricity) as well as the Earth's tilt and precession affect the amount of sunlight received on the Earth's surface. These orbital processeswhich function in cycles of 100,000 (eccentricity), 41,000 (tilt), and 19,000 to 23,000 (precession) yearsare thought to be the most significant drivers of ice ages. |
