Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these options (tree rings, layers in ice cores, and varves) form different layers from season to season. Tree rings represent annual growth cycles, layers in ice cores can capture atmospheric conditions and climate changes annually, and varves, which are sedimentary layers, often represent seasonal deposition in lakes or marine settings. Each of these can be used to determine the passage of time, often in years.
