Document Summary

Average conditions on earth over a long period of time (at least 10 yrs) Average conditions on earth over short time. Interactions among all these components complicated to untangle. Every time you complete the cycle, you repeat the cycle. increase again. When a increases b changes which cause a to. Increase in temp melts ice increase temperature. A can decrease every time you come around the cycle too! Lower the temp = more ice forms = temp drops again. When you complete the cycle, the next time through you do the. Opposite of what you did the first time. When b increases, a increases (back to step 1) You do poorly on exam 1, so you start to study more. You then do better on the exam 2, so you start to slack off and thus do poorly on exam 3. Heat energy from the sun that reaches the earth. Several things affect how much insolation earth receives.
