"P1ease answer the following
questions: ~ Have glacial per-
iods been brought about by the
fiuctuating eccentricity Of the
earth's orbit about the sun?
C) Could the procession Of the
equinoxes have contributed to
the formation of glaciers at one
time and Of tropical conditions
at another?-G. II. s., Stuyve-
SAINT High School. New York
W OUR questions call up one
of the greatest debates OF
science, in which 1t has
thus far been impossible to oo-
tain a generally acceptable decision.
The earth travels around the sun
in an ellipse, which is at present
of small eccentricity, so that its
relative distance from the sun does
not vary very largely in the course
of a year. But the eccentricity Is
subject to very slow changes
whereby the orbit may. at times,
become much more elongated,
though even when the eccentricity
IL greatest the orbit Is not re-
markably different in form from a
circle.
Owing to the inclination Of the
earth's axis Of daily rotation to the
plane Of the ecliptic lin which 1t
travels around the SUM, the sea-
sons alternate between the north
ern and southern hemispheres, so
that when II IL winter in the
northern. 1t is summer In the
southern.
While the total amount of heat
received by either hemisphere in
the course of a year is equal to
that received by the other hemi-
sphere, yet the distribution Of this
heat is such that each hemisphere
total quantity during its summer
receives about So per cent Of it's
season and only about 81 per cent
during its winter, and this proper
ton will be maintained unchanged
even II the relative length of win.
ter and summer be altered.
Now. the relative length Of win

from that, because she's gotta keep
away from it. She's just an engine

SECRET OF ICE AGE

advance Of the apsides of the orbit,
causes this position to change. When
the line of the equinoxes is at right
angles to the major axis the differ
ence in the length of the two seasons
Is greatest.
At present the position of he
equinoXes and the eccentricity of the
orbit are such that the difference
Is only seven days, the amount by
which the northern summer ex-
ceeds the northern winter. But,
as before said, the eccentricity Of
the orbit is now small. But ages
ago the eccentricity of the orbit
was several times greater, so that
the difference in the length of win.
ter and summer, when the line Of
equinoxes was at right angles to
the major axis, could have been as
much as thirty-three days, although
the total length of the year was the
same as now, 365 days.
With these facts in view, let us
suppose that when the eccentricity
was greatest winter in the North
Hemisphere occurred with the
earth in aphelion instead of in
perihelion, as at present; then there
would be 1873 days in the winter half
of the year and only 166 in the
summer half and there would be
only 81 per cent of the years total
supply of heat to be stretched over
1919 days, while 63 per cent would be
concentrated in the other 166 days. /,
