A feature that is not the direct result of glaciation is?
I think there are some results of that. For instance, the sea level was lower than at present, due to the large volume on moisture trapped as ice on the land, glaciation extended beyond present continental shorelines. Separate centers of now accumulation and ice formation developed. Large lakes were created between the western mountains of North America and the advancing ice front. To the south, huge rivers carried away glacial meltwaters.Still not sureAdditional answerMountain ranges were not made by glaciation. They were pushed up by the movement of tectonic plates - although they may have been susequently shaped by glaciers

How does a fiord form?
Fjords are found in locations where current or past glaciation extended below current sea level. A fjord is formed when a glacier retreats, after carving its typical U-shaped valley, and the sea fills the resulting valley floor.

What is the significance of the varangian glaciation?
The Varangian Glaciation occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era. It is significant because there are deposits found on almost every continent, and deposits are found interbedded with marine limestones. This indicates a mass glaciation which affected even low altitudes. Glaciation was caused by the distribution of the continents. All the continents were situated at low latitudes with open oceans at the poles, a configuration that has never happened since.

Would most features of alpine glaciation be preserved in the geologic record?
Depends on what is meant by the word 'features'. Alpine glaciation tends to create certain recognizable features like cirques and U-shaped valleys, and the sediments plucked by the glaciation can be traced back to their source by careful examination.
