Apsidal precession (perihelion precession) and Milankovitch cycles Video Lecture - Class 1

The Axial Precession and the Apsidal Precession together create a cycle between glaciation, or so-called ice ages, with an average duration of about 23,000 years. The Last Glacial Maximum occurred between 20,000 and 24,000 years ago the movement of the magnetic pole comes into play because that has an influence on the interaction of the Coriolis effect on wind patterns, which in turn has an impact on polar vortex strength (cold spill from the poles). The second-order effect is the impact on the
