The formation of lakes can be divided into the following main types:
1, due to crustal movement, deep valleys appear on the ground, and lakes formed after water accumulation are called tectonic lakes;
2. Glacier gouging causes depressions on the ground, and lakes formed by accumulated water are called glacial lakes;
3. After the end of the glacier melts, the rocks and sediments carried by the glacier accumulate into a dam, and the lake formed by the accumulated water at the top of the dam is called an ice lake;
4. The past bay has evolved into a lake;
5. When the volcano erupts, the magma flows into the river, and after cooling and solidification, it will form a dam to cut off the river, and the water above the dam will become a lake, which is called a volcanic dammed lake;
6. The lake formed by accumulated water in the crater is called crater lake.
