What is the earth movement but it takes 26000 years what would it is called?
Precession, which in this case refers to a movement of Earth's axis. A full "turn" takes about 26,000 years.
How long does a complete precession cycle take?
A complete precession cycle, such as Earth's axial precession, takes around 26,000 years to complete. This gradual shift in the orientation of Earth's axis affects the position of the equinoxes and solstices over this timescale.
Earths precession resulted in an ice age that ended about how many years ago?
In the last couple of million years, the Earth has experienced dozens of ice ages. The last one ended about 15,000 years ago. We don't know if they are related at all to the Earth's "precession", which is a 26,000-year-long "wobble" in the Earth's spin. There is no reason for precession to have any effect on Earth's climate, since the 'tilt' of the axis remains constant throughout the cycle of precession.
Does the Earth's axis always points toward the same direction in space?
Yes - more or less. It changes its direction in space ("precession") very slowly, making a full cycle every 26,000 years or so.Yes - more or less.

What affects seasonal change more Earth's tilted axis or the distance to the sun during Earths orbit?
seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. since the earth is in a slight eliptical orbit around the sun, when we are closer to the sun in January is where the northern hemisphere will still have winter and further from the sun in July when summer occurs. this is expected to flip in 26,000 years because of earths 3rd axis known as axial precession
What is a very slow motion of earths axis that requires 26000 years?
precession
What do you call the slow movement of earths axis with a period of 26000 years?
Procession of the Equinox
The wobbling motion of a spinning object is known as?
Precession. This is when the axis of rotation of a spinning object moves in a circular motion around another axis, causing a wobbling effect.
What is earths precession?
The Earth is a spinning top (gyro) with a different moment of inertia about the spin axis than the other two axis. Therefore, it acts like a spinning top with both precession and nutation. Precession of the polar axis (relative to a 'fixed' distant star) forms a cone. The precession period (~26,000years) is the time it takes for the cone to be traced. Nutation occurs normal to the precession cone and has a much faster period (~18.6yrs).
What is earths axis slowly but continuously points in different directions known as?
I think you are referring to a phenomenon called Nutation.
What is the direction of the precession of the gyroscope?
The direction of precession of a gyroscope is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
How does the tilting of earths axis effect the earth?
it creates the seasons.
What causes the Coriolanus effect?
Earths rotation around its axis
What would be the effect on earth if the planets axis were not tilted?
There would be no four seasons if the earths axis was not tilted.
How does the north star changes?
Due to the earths precession (How the earth 'wobbles' on its axis) the pole star changes over time. Though this takes many, many years
What are earths four motions?
Earth has four main motions: rotation, which causes day and night; revolution, which causes the annual seasons; precession, which causes a slow wobble in its axis; and nutation, which causes a slight variation in the tilt of its axis.
What is preccession?
A Precession is the changing direction of earth's axis
