Varves are best developed near glaciers because they represent light colored layers of coarser material deposited in the summer when the streams issuing from glaciers have more energy to erode coarser material compared to the fine silts and clay of the winter months when there is very little flow and very little erosion. They mostly occur in glacial lakes.
When something happens, energy is changed from one form into another. When you climb stairs, chemical energy in your food is changed into kinetic energy by your muscles, and into potential energy as you raise your body against gravity. The amount of energy transferred is measured in JOULES.
Physical processes are the natural forces that change earths features.
