Milankovitch theory
is a theory that there are changes in
Earths
orbit and tilt.
This
alters
the amount of
energy
reaching the Earth.
Every
41
thousand years, there is a chance in the
tilt
of Earths axis.
A greater tilt means more
sunlight
in the
polar
regions.
Over a
97,000
year cycle, the
Earths
orbit stretches.
