Yes. This is part of the Milankovich Theory, which describes the collective effects of changes in the earth's movements upon its climate. A cycle of precession lasts 26,000 years and can contribute to climatic changes over periods of thousands of years. The combined effect of precession and other cycles can produce long-term cycles in the amount of warmth received from the sun, thereby triggering changes which, reinforced by changes in greenhouse gas levels, result in the ice ages. For the prediction of climate change in the twenty-first century, these changes are considered far less important than radiative forcing from increased greenhouse gas levels.

How earth's axis slowly but continuously points in different directions a movement known as?
The main such change in direction is called precession. Some more irregular short-term changes are called nutation.
What is one way that the earths surface can change slowly?
The earth's surface changes through erosion, due to wind, water, vegetation, ice or temperature
How does the temperature of the Earths layers change from the core to the crust?
In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
Magma can change form when?
the outside temperature changes...
Does Nitrogen PSI change with temperature?
Yes it changes with the chnage of temperature and you have to calculate the temperature correction factor
What is the change in the earths temperature?
radioactive decay

How does temperature change with depth below earths surface?
temperature increases with depth
How the temperature changes?
The temperature changes as the weather changes and the Earth tilts on its axis, causing the seasons to change.
Does molecular speed change as much as the temperature?
It changes in proportion to the temperature change.
How does the temperature of the Earths layers change from the core to the crust?
In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
Does mean molecular speed change as much as the temperature?
It changes in proportion to the temperature change.
Does a chemical change create a temperature change?
Almost all chemical changes release or take in energy, and thus do result in changes in temperature.
What properties do not change when matter changes state?
During phase changes the temperature of a substance does not change.
What can large ice sheets do to change the landscape of the earths surface?
changes the climate
What particle property changes with change in temperature?
A change in temperature leads to a change in the kinetic energy of the atoms in the particle.
