changes in Earth’s orbit and tilt‚ volcanic activity‚ human activity. 2. How orbital changes may affect climate? Ans. When Earth’s orbit is elliptical‚ Earth encounters more variation in energy from the Sun. The tilt of the Earth’s axis also changes. When the tilt decreases‚ temperature differences between seasons decreases. Wobbling of Earth changes the direction of tilt and can reverse the seasons. 3. How changes in CO₂ concentrations affect global temperatures. Ans. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse
