No. Earth's orbital eccentricity (a measurement of the difference between the closest and farthest approach of the Earth to the Sun) has negligible effect on seasonal changes. Rather it's earth's axial tilt that gives rise to seasons.

Does the shape of earths orbit affect the season?

The changes in the distance from the sun (due to elliptical orbit) make marginal differences in the amount of energy recieved by the earth,. > The major contributor to seasonal differences is essentially due to the tilt from perpindicular of the earths rotational axis and the fact that the axis will remain parallel throughout the earths yearly orbit around the sun, so in the northern hemisphere the winter equinox is when the top of the axis is at maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in diffused sunlight and less daylight hours.


What is responsible for earths ice ages?

Mostly solar variability and changes in green-house gasses; but changes in Earth's orbit over time also has an effect.


How does the earths orbit around the sun cause the seasons?

Actually, it doesn't. The TILT of the Earth on it axis causes seasonal changes.
