Long and Short-term Changes in Climate
... These changes add up to the regular cycles of ice ages and interglacial periods 1. How might the shape of the earth’s orbit affect temperatures on earth? When might ice ages be more likely: when the orbit is more elliptical or less elliptical? 2. How might the tilt of the earth affect the parts of t ...

... •Just 18,000 years ago, the Earth was in an ice age where continental glaciers reached as far south as the Ohio River Valley over North America. •Over Europe, the northern region and higher terrain were covered in thick sheet as well. •The glacial advance/retreat occurred about 10 times over a 2 mi ...
