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.
What else can I help you with?
The part of a varve deposited in summer is likely to be?
The part of a varve deposited in summer is likely to be composed of lighter colored, coarser sediment with higher organic content, reflecting increased biological productivity during the warmer months. Summer varves often show distinct layers that can be identified and dated accurately due to their unique characteristics.
Which term describes the annual layers of sediment deposited in lakes and fjords by meltwater from glaciers?
An annually deposited sedimentary layer is called a varve. Originally the word referred only to those annual layers of sediment deposited in a lake by glaciers, but now the more general use is accepted. Another term used in the literature is "annually laminated."

What is a varve most like?
A varve is most like a seasonal layer of sediment, typically found in lakes, that represents the annual deposition of material. Each varve consists of two layers: a light layer deposited during the warmer months and a darker layer formed during the colder months. This alternating pattern makes varves useful for dating and studying past environmental conditions, much like tree rings indicate age and growth conditions.
