  C) During warmer conditions, lake sediments form wider rings, whereas in cooler conditions, these rings are narrower.
  D) The amount and type of pollen in lake sediments is an indication of the macrovertebrate assemblages that dominated an area.
  E) Lake sediment analysis is used to determine which fish species have persisted in a particular lake over long periods of time.
