Explain the Milankovitch Theory. What will be an ideal response?The Milankovitch Theory suggests that glaciation can be initiated by changes in three aspects of Earth’s orbit: orbital eccentricity, the tilt of the Earth’s axis, and the precession of the

equinoxes. These factors cause variation in the distribution of solar heat at any latitude through time and can influence climate.
