Question

Answer 1

ake basins are formed in several ways. ... When the glaciers melted, water filled those depressions, forming lakes. Glaciers also carved deep valleys and deposited large quantities of earth, pebbles, and boulders as they melted. These materials sometimes formed dams that trapped water and created more lakes.

1) Organic lakes

2) Volcanic lakes
