What is varve?
Varves are sedimentary deposits that are deposited in a still body of water (e.g. lake). Varves are created by melting and freezing of glacial ice. In the summer when the glacier melts (retreats) silt- and sand-sized particles are carried by the melt water to the lake and deposited. In the winter when the still body of water is frozen, fine clays settle out on top of the coarser silt and sand. This cycle is repeated seasonally. Therefore, a varve sequence represents one year.
