What do you call a depression in the Earth's surface sometimes dry and sometimes they are filled with water?
basin
How does erosion or deposition play a part in forming lakes?
An example: lake basins can be formed from glacial erosion which can scrape off terrain, and lower the bedrock elevation from their sheer weight. When the glaciers recede, the basins are filled with meltwater, forming lakes. In a similar fashion, the deposition of sediments that form large landforms called moraines, can serve as dams creating lakes.
What is a depression in the surface land called?
A basin is a depression in the earth's surface that can be dry or filled with water.
Compare surface water and groundwater?
Surface water refers to lakes, rivers and other bodies of water. It is usually filled with fish and other animals. Groundwater is the water that lies under the ground.
A hollow or depression in the earth's surface?
A hollow or depression in the earth's surface is a basin. A basin is usually shaped like a bowl, with the sides higher than the bottom. Some are filled with water, some are empty.

Does mercury have volcanoes or geysers?
Yes, many large basins contain smooth plains that are likely to be filled with lava.
What are the surface features on Mercury compared to Earth?
while earths surface is smooth or rocky or filled with water, mercurys surface is made out of cotton candy, the clouds on mercury are fuzz balls and the water is coors light. mercury is awesome, earth sucks ._. creepy face
The dark smooth plains of the moon are?
They are Seas. A long time ago when the Moon's core was still active, hot lava would rise from inside the Moon and fill these giant craters (they were called basins back before they were filled with lava). We of course call them seas today because, go figure, some kind of liquid filled them up (lava). So they were basins before they were filled with lava and now they are called Seas because they were filled up.
What are the important features of Deimos?
Deimos's chief characteristics are an irregular overall shape, a smooth surface with filled-in craters, and prominent albedo features. Deimos has a mean radius of 6.2 km, yet it has a concavity 11 km across (Figure D2).
