  • Ice Ages and Sea Level « Watts Up With That?: Pacific Ocean bottom water temperatures started declining 40 million years ago, falling 10° C to the current 3° C. The band of high ocean temperatures (above 25° C) also contracted towards the equator, from 45° latitude to 20°. Eventually the oceans lost enough heat that the Earth?s orbital parameters started causing surges in ice formation. There are three orbital parameters: eccentricity, precession and obliquity, shown in Figure 1.
