Hey Linda,

which consists of 4 million layers of varves, two for every year.
And if you think they could happen a lot faster, the problem is the sedimentation rates of the silt and clay in the two layers are different, coarse in the spring from high runnoff rates and fine in the late summer to winter with low runoff rates. You can't get them to deposit faster so there is an absolute minimum time necessary.

At one day per layer - which is much less time than is needed for the thickness of the layers in the varves - you still end up with 4 million days of sedimentation, or a minimum of 10,959 years for the flood to deposit them. Seems a little different than what the YEC's would have you believe.

Enjoy.
