What is the name given to lakes formed through glacial erosion?
Corrie lake.
What causes the process of dropping eroded materials?
Deposition is caused by:A change in the energy in a river (e.g. on a meander)Glacial ablation (at the snout or bottom)Change in temperature (in a sea or lake, or potentially even in an ocean)
What is the settling of sediments at the bottom of a lake called?
Because the force of the flow / tide is no longer strong enough to carry it.

What changes are involved when mud from a lake bottom turns into a sedimentary rock then into a metamorphic rock?
The sediments on the lake bottom undergo lithification and become sedimentary rock. Further compaction, pressure, and heat turn it into metamorphic rock.

Why do storms cause a new graded bed pattern to form on the bottom of the lake or river?
The storms create temporary streams. The streams carry sediments with them. Soon these sediments are settle down creating a graded bedding.
