A varve is an annual layer of sediment or sedimentary rock. The word 'varve' derives from the Swedish word varv whose meanings and connotations include 'revolution', 'in layers', and 'circle'. The term first appeared as Hvarfig lera (varved clay) on the first map produced by the Geological Survey of Sweden in 1862.
VAR is a unit of reactive power (complex power) and stands for Volt Amperes Reactive. Unlike the intuitive Direct Current power, where electric current and electric potential deliver energy continuously in one direction, in AC systems the electric potential (Voltage) reverses polarity rapidly causing current flow to reverse at the same frequency.
