  • upwelling
  • obliquity
  • thermohaline circulation
  • Milankovitch cycles
  • eccentricity
  • precession

Explanation:

  • Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.
  • Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.
  • The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.
  • Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.
  • Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.
  • The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.
