Which geographic effect results from variations in solar insolation related to Earth's orbit around the Sun?

💡 Explanation

When Earth's orbit changes proximity to the Sun, variations in insolation effect how much energy Earth receives because proximity drastically scales light and heat intensity related to orbit position. Therefore, seasonal temperature variations correctly explains this relation and effect, rather than salinity, subduction or volcanic activity occurring which depend on other mechanisms.
