Lakes freeze on the surface due to the lower temperature of air in winter, causing the water at the top to cool and solidify. Ice is less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float, which insulates the water below and prevents it from freezing. As a result, the deeper layers of the lake remain liquid, maintaining a habitat for aquatic life even in cold conditions. This stratification is essential for the ecosystem, as it helps preserve a stable environment beneath the ice.
Lake Tasman, the only fresh water lake with icebergs.

Waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them.

When Frozen water floats on liquid water
Yes, aquatic life is possible under frozen lakes in western countries. The ice on top of the lake insulates the water under it, preventing heat from escaping.
either the lake pond or river is not fully frozen, or they don't survive
because the ocean has salt in it rather than freshwater lake Because fresh water on the surface of a lake is frozen. Under similar conditions, salt water is not frozen.

Fish can survive in frozen lakes because the layer of ice on top acts as an insulator, trapping oxygen in the water below for the fish to breathe. The fish slow down their metabolism and hibernate during the winter months, conserving energy until the ice melts and they can resume their normal activities.
Fresh water? Well most fresh water is frozen in polar ice caps. But the largets fresh water lake is Lake Bakal in Russia. I do hope you meant freshwater.
The lake was frozen, so the dog was crossing solid ice
living things can survive in the water beneath a lake's frozen surface
Any lake that isn't frozen!
Yes, but only very light amounts. It is primarily snow that is generated from topographical differences as a result of friction once it comes onshore.
