 Different Bodies of
Water

watercourse flowing

another river.

geothermally heated
groundwater from
the Earth’s crust.
 Lake
Is a body of relatively still
water of considerable
size,localized in a basin
that is surrounded by land
apart from a river,stream
or other form of moving
water that serves to feed
or drain the lake.
 Pond

natural depression. Like a stream,
the word lake is quite a generic

of water surrounded by land.

water that may be
connected with an
ocean or maybe a
large lake that
