Lakes and ponds are formed by remnants of glaciers, blocked rivers, and rivers that fill natural basins.
estuary- Inland wetlands form as lakes and ponds slowly dry up. The soil is supersaturated with water, and there are small areas of still or slow moving water.
- In lakes, ponds, and inland wetlands, the water is standing, not flowing. Though currents can be swift as waters enter and leave ponds and lakes, in general, ponds and lakes move slowly because they have been blocked (by beaver dams, humans, natural rock cavities, etc.)
- The water in lakes, ponds and inland wetlands is layered (stratified) according to temperature, oxygen and life.
- The bottoms of lakes, ponds and inland wetlands are covered with mud that includes the decaying bodies of dead plants and other organisms. The older the body of water, the more mud there is at the bottom.
lake- The shoreline of lakes, ponds and inland wetlands contains an abundance of life. These areas, like the shorelines of oceans, are nurseries for fish and crustaceans. The plants here filter pollutants running off the land. Older ponds and lakes have larger littoral zones around the edges.
