Target entity: Milankovitch cycles
Context triple: [Quaternary period, climateDriver, Milankovitch cycles]
  • A. Milanković calendar
    The Milanković calendar is a 20th-century reform of the Julian calendar, designed by Serbian scientist Milutin Milanković to more accurately align the civil year with the solar year and used by some Eastern Orthodox churches.
  • B. Cenozoic glaciations
    Cenozoic glaciations are a series of major ice age cycles during the Cenozoic Era that saw extensive growth and retreat of continental ice sheets, profoundly shaping Earth’s climate and landscapes.
  • C. Eocene–Oligocene climate transition
    The Eocene–Oligocene climate transition was a major global cooling event around 34 million years ago that marked the shift from a greenhouse to an icehouse Earth, including the formation of large Antarctic ice sheets.
  • D. Laplace resonance
    Laplace resonance is a three-body orbital resonance in which the orbital periods of Jupiter’s moons Io, Europa, and Ganymede are linked in a precise 1:2:4 ratio, strongly affecting their dynamics and internal heating.
  • E. Saros cycle
    The Saros cycle is an approximately 18-year period after which nearly identical solar and lunar eclipses repeat, due to the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
