Question 8: Do the following changes occur at the same time (same year) in Earth's orbital cycles?

(a) Summer insolation maxima at both poles caused by changes in tilt?

(b) Summer insolation maxima in the tropics of both hemispheres caused by precession?

Question 9: What kind of seismic wave was used to measure ocean temperature changes?
