Q

orbital changes

A

(changes how much sunlight we recieve
changes in how the earth moves arond the sun
(natural warming, cooling effect)

the Earth has natural warming and cooling periods caused by Milankovitch cycles

changes the earths orbit to circular to ellipse pattern

ellipse=colder winters hotter temps
