Global climate also changed naturally when

• evaporation is disrupted by technology

• Earth's tilt angle changes from 22.1 to 24.5 degrees.

• El Nino and La Nina occurs at the same time.

• Earth's orbit path become more elliptical.

A period or climate where the Easter Pacific Ocean gets warmer and receives more rainfall is called

• El Nino

• La Nina

• Ice Ages

• global warming

Which variable of the Milankovitch Cycles is animated here?

• eccentricity

• obliquity

• precession

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.
