What process makes some lakes salty?
Lakes become salty if the source of water flowing into the lake contains salt and the salty water cannot flow out of the lake. Salt lakes are endorheic, water leaves the lake by evaporation and leaves the salt and minerals in the remaining water.
When is brimming water dangerous?
'Brimming water' is the state water is in when it is about to spill over the boundaries of a river, lake or dam. It is dangerous in this state because it is about to cause a flood onto dry land.
What will happen if plants and algae grow rapidly in a lake?
The lake will have heaps of plants and algae. they will then start dying and the "bodies" will rot which is a process that consumes oxygen, if too much organic mass rots it consumes all the oxygen in the water and everything in the lake dies- this process is called eutrification
What is the deepest fresh water lake on Earth?
The top fresh water lakes in the world are: Lake Superior, Lake Victoria, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Tanganyika.
Is a lake freezing a chemical change?
Yes, whenever something changes from liquid, solid or gas, It is considered a change in state.
Which state has a gigantic lake full of salty water?

What process is needed for lake water to go to river water?

When the water comes from the lake what process is it is it condensation or evaporation or precipitation or runoff?
Evaporation. Condensation is when water vapor leaves the gas state and becomes liquid again. Evaporation is when liquid water moves into the gas state. Precipitation is water (as liquid or solid) condenses and falls from clouds. Runoff is solid water turning to liquid. So of those four, only evaporation could be described as water coming from the lake... unless the lake is frozen solid - then it could be runoff.
Process of warm surface water mixing with deep cooler water in a lake?
Turnover
What causes water to be lost from the surface of a lake?
Evaporation.
A fog forms over a lake. What two changes of state must occur to produce the fog Do the water molecules absorb or release energy during these changes of state?
First, water must evaporate from the lake. The water molecules absorb energy during evaporation. The water vapour in the air must condense to form the tiny water droplets that make up the fog. During condensation the water molecules release energy.
