https://padlet.com/wismerd/32z1f0m13q65 When varve counting, geologists assume 1 varve =1 year. From the activity, do you support this or question this and why? en-us 2018-02-22 14:00:34 UTC 2018-02-26 14:16:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/wismerd/32z1f0m13q65/wish/234248688 I do support this as it does make sense.

This basically guarantees that a full year has gone by for a varve to be formed. Thus. I support this. ]]> 2018-02-22 14:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/32z1f0m13q65/wish/234249283 https://padlet.com/wismerd/32z1f0m13q65/wish/234250249 The small intercaounting layers may impact the results s because someone might count it as two while someone else my see it as one layer.
One exemptions from assuming that a vare equals one year is that for some reason a layer could have been eroded so one layer isn’t there anymore do they results would be messed up. ]]> 2018-02-22 14:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wismerd/32z1f0m13q65/wish/234250249 https://padlet.com/wismerd/32z1f0m13q65/wish/234250893 I do support it because this shows a lot of detail and guaranteed amount of years that have passed for a varve. This also is easier for examining because each layer is divided up.

It is fairly easy to tell the start of spring and the start of winter. It shows the layer pretty clearly so I think this method is a well used method

Sometimes it was more difficult because some layers where really dark in bigger chunks making it harder to count layers.

Also if something would happen and layers would come off of the rock it will mess up the age of the rock.
