Dike or Dam:
What is the difference between a dike and a dam?
Some general rule of thumb (which aren't always correct) to tell the difference are:
* A dike runs along or parallel to a body of water such as river or sea, a dam runs across or through a body of water.
* A dike has water only on one side, a dam has water on both sides.
The real difference between a dam and a dike is that the primary purpose of a dike is protecting the land behind it from flooding (Closing Dike), whereas a dams' purpose is to retain the water (Hoover Dam).
A lake is a natural water mass where a dam is a man made or it can be naturally made
a dam does not flow and has no banks. A lake has banks
No. A dam is a long, tall structure of dirt and rock, or concrete that is intended to hold back water in a river until a lake forms.
A dam is what holds back the water. The lock is at either end of the dam, and is what vessels use to get from one side of the dam to the other.
A dam is man made whilst a lake is a natural geographical feature
A dam is a man made and a lake is a natural
usually the man made one has a dam
