Which variable of the Milankovitch Cycles is animated here?

• eccentricity

• precession

Which variable of the Milankovitch Cycles is most responsible for the different seasons on Earth?

• eccentricity (the shape of Earth's orbit)

• obliquity (the tilt of Earth's axis)

• precession (the wobble of Earth's axis)

the Milankovitch cycle of Eccentricity is when...

• the shape of Earth's orbit changes in the amount of how round or oval it is.

• The tilt of Earth's orbit changes from 22.5 to 24.5 degrees

• the wobble of Earth on it's axis changes positions.

• the Earth's volcanoes all erupt at once.

Which of the following best describes the tilt of the earth during the spring and fall equinoxes?

• The earth is tilted away from the sun (Northern hemisphere)

• The earth is tilted neither toward or away from the sun (tilt is side to side)

• The earth is tilted toward the sun (Northern hemisphere)

• The earth is not tilted during spring and fall

As the angle of light became closer to 180 (when you started to angle the flashlight closer to the paper at 90) what can be inferred about the temperature?

• As the angle changed closer to 180, the temperature would stay the same.

• As the angle changed closer to 180, the temperature would increase.

• As the angle changed closer to 180, the temperature would decrease.

What is the primary greenhouse gas measured in the air bubbles trapped in Ice Cores?

• Nitrogen

• Carbon dioxide

• Oxygen

• Methane

Which of the following is the best conclusion that can be made from this graph?

• atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been decreasing since 1960
• Hawaii has a lot of carbon dioxide
• humans have been working hard to decrease carbon dioxide levels
• atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased steadily since 1960

The reason we have seasons on our planet is because...

• we are closer to the sun during the winter and further during the winter.

• the tilt of Earth's axis allows for more direct sunlight in the summer and less direct sunlight in the winter.

• seasonal wind patterns carry warmer winds during the summer and colder winds during the winter.

• the Earth's orbit becomes more like an oval to give us different seasons.
