Question 1 • 2026-27 AL-Earth and Space Science

Which statement explains one way that lakes form?

Answer
A
Lava flows block a river.
B
Streams flow into shallow areas.
C
Groundwater feeds into low-lying areas.
D
Grassy wetlands get covered by a stream.

Explanation

Lakes can form when lava flows across and blocks a river valley. The blocked water collects behind the lava, creating a lake. Groundwater may contribute water to a lake, but simply feeding a low-lying area is not the lake-forming process described here.
