Description :
Temporal change in the growth of speleothems in the United Kingdom during the past 150,000 years is shown to be related to the insolation variation by the Milankovitch theory. The abundance of speleothem growth was, in general, large during the last interglaciation and small during the last glaciation. In both periods 40,000 yr and 20,000 yr, however, speleothem abundance was greater during periods of strong insolation and less during weak insolation.
