water is formed by lakes or river and it can flood by creating a longer river or lake.
most lakes in Texas were formed by rivers being dammed
Yes
Most of Florida's lakes are the result of sinkholes formed when underground limestone is dissolved by karst erosion. Others have formed through depressions in the ancient limestone bedrock. Still others are formed by man through building dams, wiers, residential communities, etc.
One of the most famous is Crater Lake, Oregon. (see the link below)
Sedimentary rock is found at the bottom of lakes and rivers. This rock is formed from minerals and organic particles.
Most lakes in Illinois were formed by glacial activity during the last Ice Age, which ended around 10,000 years ago. As glaciers advanced and retreated, they carved out depressions in the landscape, which later filled with water from melting ice and precipitation. Additionally, some lakes were created by river meandering and sediment deposition. Today, many of these lakes are maintained as recreational areas and habitats for wildlife.
==The Land of 10,000 Lakes== I can't say for sure just how fishable they are, but Minnesota's nickname is "The land of 10,000 lakes."
A. in rock layers which formed underwater
Glaciers changed the face of North America with the following effects:An ice sheet covered most of Canada.The southwest received heavy rains.
Ontario is home to approximately 250,000 bodies of water that are classified as lakes. The exact number is unknown. Nearly 4,000 of these are larger than 3Km2. Most are found in the northern portion of the province.
The most likely agent of erosion that formed the drumlins and finger lakes in New York State is glaciation. During the last Ice Age, massive ice sheets advanced and retreated, shaping the landscape by depositing glacial debris, carving out valleys, and creating landforms like drumlins (elongated hills) and finger lakes (long, narrow lakes between hills).
From the fact that most of them form from the lithification of sediment.
