Which outcome occurs when glacial outwash encounters standing freshwater?

💡 Explanation

Varves form due to seasonal changes in sediment supply; coarser sediments settle quickly in summer, and finer clay particles settle during winter due to decreased energy from meltwater discharge. Thus layering occurs through differential settling; therefore, varves are answer, rather than features arising from flowing water.

• Which outcome occurs when reduced sediment supply alters wave refraction?
• Which outcome arises because deflation lowers sediment supply?
• Which risk increases for coastal wetlands when longshore drift is interrupted by artificial groynes?
• Which global weather pattern is significantly influenced by the Coriolis effect deflection acting on zonal wind circulation?
• Which outcome occurs when the Sahara's Harmattan winds deposit sediments?
• Which mechanism causes increased coastal aridity when cold ocean currents circulate near landmasses?
