how does the earths tilt contribute to ice ages?
by increasing the earths temperature
by making the earth spin faster
by altering the earths tilt and orbit over time
by changing the earths orbit
The Milankovitch cycles, which include changes in the Earth's tilt (obliquity), orbit (eccentricity), and precession, affect the distribution of solar radiation on Earth. Variations in tilt and orbit over long - time scales can lead to periods of cooler temperatures and ice - age conditions. Increasing the Earth's temperature would not cause ice ages, the Earth's spin rate is not directly related to ice ages caused by tilt, and just changing the orbit without considering tilt is not the full picture.
