Ponds are usually formed in hollows where rain water gathers. There is no stream in or out, so the water level depends on whether it has been wet or dry for sometime previously. Obviously, if it hasn't rained for a long time, the water level will drop and the pond dry out!

In the spring many frogs lay their eggs in ponds that dry up in the summer What advantages does metamorphosis provide in such a situation?

All of our amphibians lay their eggs in water. Most frogs, toads and salamanders like to lay their eggs in small ponds where there are no fish to eat the eggs or young. If the young amphibians grow and change to adult shape quickly, the eggs can be laid in ponds that dry up by late summer. So some amphibians breed in ponds that fill with water from melting snow in spring or heavy rains in summer. They can live in places where there are no ponds or other water for part of the year.

How long does it take for a pond to dry up?

Well, this would depend on several factors:Location- warmer region would dry up faster. Shelter/surrounding vegetation would also affect the evaporation rateVolume- the deeper the pond the less likely it will dry up- the greater the surface area the more likely it will. A shallow puddle and a narrow tube filled with the same volume of water would not dry up at the same rate- the puddle would firstTime of year- summer is when the pond will most likely dry up. Temporary ponds dry up in the summer and fill up again in the autumn/winter.Taking the above into account, I would say an average temporary pond (most ponds don't dry up completely anyway) would take a few weeks, at its peak rate, to dry up. However, whenever there is hot weather the pond water will begin to evaporate, but this evaporation is not consistent- but rather the rate increases the closer you get to the middle of summer.Hope this helps! :)
