Cyclostratigraphy is concerned primarily with measuring geological time and the time units used in this approach are sedimentary cycles. Milankovitch cycles mark time intervals of tens of thousands to several millions of years. Such cycles are the result of variations in the Earth''s position in relation to the Sun and these in turn determine the climatic variations. The Milankovitch theory was re...
