Figure 6

A representative Hermite model equivalent of the loop and tail diagram in Figure 5 where there are at least ten major pulses from the Sun affecting the Earth: the major extinction events are at the major phase changes, the maximum warming periods coincide with W-events and the glaciations are in tails defined by E-events and H-events. The major extinction events coincide with the flipping between the loops and tails and visa versa (that is, H-events and E-events) and at the solar maximum W-events. The insets show the details of parts of the sequence including the glaciation periods and phases (G) and their relationship to extinction events.
