Answer:

B. variations in the shape of the Earth's orbit

Explanation:

Ice age cycles according to Milutin Milanković who was a Serbian geophysicist and climatologist can be defined as the glacial and interglacial cycles or periods which occurs due to the unsteady movement of the Earth in its orbit. This unsteady movement resulted in a change in way solar energy was been distributed on the surface of the Earth.

The ice age cycles are referred

to as Milutin Milanković cycles. The ice age cycles according to Milutin Milanković has two cycles, the shorter cycle is for an average of 100,000 years while the longer cycle is for an average of 413,000 years.

These ice age cycles are important because they have an effect on the Earth's climate. Such effects include

a. The way ice is been formed on the earth.

b. The distribution of solar energy from the sun or the amount of sunlight exposure to the regions on the earth.

One of the factors contributing to the ice age cycles is the variations in the

shape of the Earth's orbit.

Historically, _____.
oee [108]

The correct answer is - 2. Earth's climates have changed and are likely to change in the future.

From what is known for the geologic past of the Earth, our planet's climate has been changing numerous times. The climate on the planet has varied from being predominantly wet tropical climate, to having ice ages, having multiple different climate types at the same time... The reasons for the changes in the Earth's climate are numerous, with the Sun's radiation, tectonic movements and activities, volcanic activity, outside influences like asteroid and meteorite collisions, the vegetation, and all of them have managed to create a very colorful climate history of the planet. This trend of climate change should continue in the future as well, as all of the aforementioned factors are still influencing the climate and on top of that the humans have become a factor in the climate change too.
