Earth's ice ages are primarily thought to be caused by variations in the Earth's orbit and tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles affect the amount and distribution of sunlight reaching the Earth, leading to fluctuations in global temperatures and the growth or retreat of ice sheets. Additional factors such as changes in greenhouse gas concentrations and volcanic activity can also influence the onset and duration of ice ages.
