The obliquity (axial tilt), precession (wobble), and the eccentricity (how close to being circular) of the Earth’s orbit, comprise the Milankovitch cycle. These three factors affect the amount of heat energy from the sun (solar heat) directed to Earth, influencing climactic changes and patterns.
The tilt of the axis mainly affects the amount of solar heat each hemisphere receives. The greater the tilt, the more solar energy is directed at the northern hemisphere. Along with precession, they also affect the length of days and nights experienced by certain parts of the Earth.
The eccentricity of the orbit affects the distance of the Earth to the Sun during its revolution in orbit. The orbit is an elliptical path followed by the Earth, with the Sun not exactly at the center. Thus, there is a time when the Earth is closest to the Sun (perihelion) and this allows the Earth to experience radiation the most. On the other hand, there is also a time when Earth is farthest to the Sun (aphelion). This difference in distance creates a heat exposure retained by the Earth. From the time of perihelion it absorbs so much solar energy and is gradually expended revolving but at the same time still absorbing solar heat – hotter global temperature
.
If the orbit was more circular, the distance of the Earth to the Sun will always be the same at any point in the orbit. Thus, allowing equal exposure to the Earth at all times. There will be no point in time in which the Earth will absorb so much heat. This will cause a cooler global temperature compared to the elliptical orbit.
Answer:
this one is a hard one ask my freind utterfudolphin
Explanation:
C. a rise in blood carbon dioxide concentration
Explanation:
Negative feed back mechanism refers to the control mechanism in which a product of a particular pathway controls the switch on and switch off of that particular pathway.
Since breathing increases the blood oxygen concentration and lowers carbon dioxide concentration and pH. The sensors that regulate the breathing should respond to oxygen concentration as the carbon dioxide is the by-product of respiration and is responsible for increasing blood pH. Thus increased Carbon dioxide levels in blood is the only factor which will trigger breathing.
109 exact :D hope this helped! Have a good day
