FROM RIVER EROSION
These lakes are typically clear and deep blue in color and they have the typical round shape.
They can be the result of damming or other processesthat lead to the pooling of water in one location.
These lakes were formed by the weight and pressureof the ice in the Earth’s surface
They are formed at the mouths of rivers and on deltas when the aggregation of sediments on a delta stops the natural water flow.
These lakes form at fault lines where plates meet
The force of rivers can lead to extensive erosion. Over time, eroded areas may become lake basins.
They are formed by the action of waves along ocean shoreline.
LESSON 2 Worksheet 2 Complete the crossword with the different lake origins; in the grey column the name of a famous Italian volcanic lake will appear.
1. These lakes water may be semi-saline, they are usually along ocean shoreline.
2. These lakes are usually round
3. These lakes are on rivers deltas and can disappear with flood
4. They result from river movements of sediments.
5. These lakes form at fault lines where plates meet
6. They are the result of damming, they aren’t natural lakes.
7. Melting ice formed these lakes .
