Answer:

The Milankovitch cycles in association with other natural factors explain how glaciers may advance and retreat over periods of d. ten thousand to one hundred thousand years.

Explanation:

The Milankovitch cycles -

This is the movement related to Earth's orbit around the Sun .

There are three cycles , Axial tilt , Eccentricity and precession .

According to this theory , these cycles together affect the amount of the solar heat that is incident towards the Earth's surface and the climatic pattern .

The Milankovitch cycle helps the advance and retreat of ice over the periods of 10,000 to 1000,000 years , but it does not explain the cause of Ice Age.
