Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is the Milankovitch Cycles. Scientists believe that the fluctuations between glacial periods and interglacial periods on Earth are primarily influenced by variations in the Earth's orbit around the sun, known as the Milankovitch Cycles. These cycles involve changes in the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, the tilt of its axis, and the precession of the equinoxes, which collectively impact the distribution of solar radiation received by the Earth and therefore contribute to climate changes over long periods of time.
