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.

How do Milankovitch cycles affect Earth's climate?

• By altering the Earth's distance from the sun and its axial tilt.

• By changing the moon's orbit around the Earth.

• By influencing the Earth's magnetic fields.

• By affecting the rotation speed of the Earth.
