Difference between Ice age and Orbital forcing

Ice age vs. Orbital forcing

An ice age is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Orbital forcing is the effect on climate of slow changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis and shape of the orbit (see Milankovitch cycles).

Similarities between Ice age and Orbital forcing

Ice age and Orbital forcing have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antarctica, Earth, Eemian, Milankovitch cycles, Orbit, Plate tectonics, Positive feedback.

Antarctica

Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Eemian

The Eemian (also called the last interglacial, Sangamonian, Ipswichian, Mikulin, Kaydaky, Valdivia or Riss-Würm) was the interglacial period which began about 130,000 years ago and ended about 115,000 years ago.

Milankovitch cycles

Milankovitch cycles describe the collective effects of changes in the Earth's movements on its climate over thousands of years.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Positive feedback

Positive feedback is a process that occurs in a feedback loop in which the effects of a small disturbance on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation.

Ice age and Orbital forcing Comparison

Ice age has 200 relations, while Orbital forcing has 21. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 3.17% = 7 / (200 + 21).
