Which outcome occurs when seasonal meltwater floods a glacial valley?

💡 Explanation

Varves form in proglacial lakes because seasonal changes in sediment input due to meltwater drive **sedimentary layering**. Therefore, distinct light and dark layers characterize varves, rather than other erosional glacial features or unrelated groundwater dynamics.
