Question

Beside rain, How do we have lake?

Answer 1

a lake is a depression on the Earth's surface in which water has accumulated. a lake may be originated or increased in area by the building of a dam. most of the characteristic features of lakes, such as depth, salinity, water regime, and coastal forms, depend on their origin, so that the classification of lakes is made on a genetic basis. the major lakes have considerable climatic importance; their volume is sufficient to modify the air temperature of adjacent areas, and so bring about a temperate microclimate with effects on the surrounding vegetation and human geography. these climatic effects, together with the beauty of their surroundings, attract tourists to many lake regions.

Answer 2

There are a number of natural processes that can form lakes. A recent tectonic uplift of a mountain range can create bowl-shaped depressions that accumulate water and form lakes. The advance and retreat of glaciers can scrape depressions in the surface where water accumulates; such lakes are common in Scandinavia, Patagonia, Siberia, and Canada. The most notables examples are probably the Great Lakes of North America.

Lakes can also form by means of landslides or by glacial blockages. An example of the latter occurred during the last ice age in the U.S. state of Washington, when a huge lake formed behind a glacial flow; when the ice retreated, the result was an immense flood that created the Dry Falls at Sun Lakes, Washington.

Answer 3

snow run off.  We make most lakes by blocking the river with a dam and all this snow run off has to go somewhere so it backs up and becomes a lake.

Answer 4

A lake is a body of water that is completely surrounded by land.A lake forms when water fills a depression in the land.Lakes are formed by many ways.

They are formed by glaciers(Lake Geneva), shifting continents(Caspian sea),collapsing volcanoes(crater lake  Rica) , rivers with no outlet to sea(Lake Chad) or rift created by moving plates in the earth's crust(Dead sea).

Answer 5

Lakes can be formed by a lot of things: mountain uplift, glaciers,  rivers, etc. Rain doesn't cause a lake to exist, but it does help to keep it full...
