Ice forms very quickly on top of a lake because the water is in direct contact with the air, and can lose heat very quickly. Once ice forms on top, it serves to insulate the water below it, making it more difficult for that water to lose enough heat to cool to freezing and become ice.

Can hurricanes and tornadoes over lakes propagate fish to new lakes and rivers?
Probably not. First of all, hurricanes can only form over ocean sized bodies of water, not lakes or rivers. It may be possible for ocean fish to be transported to a lake by the storm surge, but they die quickly in the low-salinity water. Tornadoes have been known to pick up fish, and occasionally larger animals, out of lakes and rivers, but they don't survive the trip.

How do lakes form by tectonic plates?
Lakes can form by tectonic plates in a few ways. For example, the movement of tectonic plates can create depressions in the Earth's surface that fill with water to form lakes. Additionally, tectonic activity can also cause shifts in the landscape that block water flow, leading to the formation of lakes.
