  • What Causes Glaciations?
    • Milankovitch Cycles (Insolation)
      • Precession
      • Obliquity
      • Eccentricity
    • Albedo
      • Ice - highest
      • Land - Middle
      • Sea - Lowest
    • Distribution Of Continents
      • Heat Transfer
        • Air
          • Himalayas
        • Water
          • Drake's Passage
      • Land mass around equator
        • Light is concentrated more on the land (higher albedo)
          • Glaciers form as Global temperatures fall
      • Polar/High latitude Land ice
    • Greenhouse Gasses
      • Photosynthesis
      • Methane Hydrates
      • CO2
        • Carbonation Weathering
          • Orogeny
            • Increases Surface Area of land mass
          • Continental Weathering
          • Removes CO2 from atmosphere
          • Carbonic Acid H2CO3
        • Volcanicity
