Varve deposits indicate which environment?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Seasonal layered deposition in a glacial lake
Varves are regularly repeated sediment layers, commonly consisting of a coarser, lighter summer layer and a finer, darker winter layer in a glacial lake. Meltwater carries more sediment during warmer months, while quieter winter water allows fine particles to settle. Thus varves record seasonal, often annual, deposition rather than cave, wind, or marine erosion.
