Ancient North American droughts were driven by Earth’s orbital shifts, study from the University of Helsinki finds.

These orbital variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, describe how Earth’s path around the Sun changes over tens to hundreds of thousands of years. These changes influence the amount of solar ...

He explains why this causes temperatures to fall and how this can be exaggerated by the changing tilt of the earth. Use to introduce the concept of Quaternary climate change, either to inform ...

Earth's interior provides heat from radioactive decay and chemical compounds by volcanic degassing, such as sulfur dioxide (SO 2) and carbon dioxide (CO 2). Quasiperiodic changes in Earth's orbit ...
