Question

what are lakes and ponds​

Answer 1

Answer:

A lake is a hydrosphere component representing a naturally arisen water body filled with water within the boundaries of the so-called lake basin (lake bed); it has no direct connection to a sea (ocean). Lakes are objects of study by the science called limnology (lake hydrology).A pond is an area filled with water, either natural or artificial, that is smaller than a lake. It may arise naturally in floodplains as part of a river system, or be a somewhat isolated depression. It may contain shallow water with aquatic plants and animals
