Scientists figure out when next ice age will happen — except humans likely changed everything
Earth naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble), obliquity (tilt), and eccentricity (orbit shape). Scientists can now predict ...

The next ice age is coming in 10,000 years — unless climate change prevents it
"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon ...

Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of these parameters' cycles and clues hidden at the bottom of the ocean.

The Big Chill
Although the exact causes for ice ages, and the glacial cycles within them, have not been proven, they are most likely the result of a complicated dynamic interaction between such things as solar ...

Lesson 1.4 - The Water Cycle
In this lesson: Students build on these ideas by creating a physical model of the water cycle. Students use water, ice, and plastic wrap to model the ocean and cold upper atmosphere. Students use ...
The 7 Best Small Ice Makers for Tiny Kitchens and Tight Spaces

Ice age cycles directly linked to changes in Earth's orbit for the first time
It has been assumed that changes in the Earth's orbit around the sun are responsible for the ice age cycles. It is now clear how this works. An international research team may have discovered ...

From tunnels to potholes, New England’s freeze-thaw cycle causes headaches as winter wanes
When temperatures rose the next day, any ice dissolved, leaving behind cracks in the concrete and making it unstable. “Recent freeze-thaw cycles caused the concrete to become saturated ...
