Study Reveals How Earth's Orbit Triggers Ice Ages, And There's One in The Next 11,000 Years
Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

Massive Volcanoes May Erupt in Sync With Earth’s Orbit— New Study Finds a Startling Link
New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its ...

Green Sahara: African Humid Periods Paced by Earth's Orbital Changes
and a 20,000-year cycle in the "wobble" — much like a top wobbles — of the Earth's axis (precession). All three of orbital cycles — called Milankovitch cycles — impact African climate on ...

Next Ice Age Should Be 10,000 Years Away – But Humans May Disrupt That
The subtle changes in orbit (eccentricity), the planet’s inclination compared to the orbit (obliquity), and the change in the direction of Earth’s rotational axis (precession) were possible ...

Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Regular changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt may have triggered the ... the researchers plotted known changes in obliquity and precession over the past 800,000 years. They also plotted the ...
