"Precession", a cycle that runs roughly 26,000 years.
Unless you're doing some pinpoint celestial navigation, or lab-grade measurements in astronomy,
you don't notice the effects of precession during the interval of your lifetime.

∙ 7y agoThe gradual rotation of the Earth's axis in respect to fixed stars is called "Precession". Precession is the rotation of the Earth's axis, caused primarily by external forces from the gravity of the Sun, Moon and other solar bodies. The Earth goes through an Axial Precession, where the rotation traces out a cone, once every 26,000 years or one degree every 72 years.

What is a change in cell structure and orientation?
A change in the structure of cells and their orientation to each other is called anaplasia.
What is a steady drop in temperature called?
a steady drop in temperature is called a gradual front
What is the gradual warming trend over the earth called?
The gradual warming trend over the earth is called global warming. This is caused by our overuse of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and by deforestation.

What is it called when water changes to vapor?
When water changes to vapor, it is either evaporation, if the process is gradual, or it is boiling, if the process is accelerated by heat.

What process often begins by a portion of a population becoming physically or geographically separated?

What is the process that causes the changes in the location of earths continent over time?
The process that causes changes of the Earth's continents over time is called "Plate Tectonics."
The region where oceanic plate descents is called what?
Its called a subduction zone. Its where two plates meet and one is forced under the other and as a result, it forms a gradual decrease in elevation into the earths mantle, where it is heated up and melted into magma.
A page orientation in which the paper is taller than it is wide is called?
Portrait orientation.
Where is geothermal located?
geothermal starts at the outer edge of the earth's crust and gets hotter the deeper you go. The gradual increase in the temperature as the depth increases is called the geothermal gradient. As you proceed through the crust the gradient is gradual. When you break through the upper mantle the temps then rise almost exponentially.
