HOW AND WHY LAKES FORM ON CARBONATE PLATFORMS: A NEW MODEL FOR LAKE FORMATION IN THE BAHAMIAN ARCHIPELAGOOver 80 lakes were sampled from the Bahamian islands of San Salvador, Eleuthera, Rum Cay and Exuma for their water chemistry and other physical characteristics. We propose a process-driven ...
"Lake ice formation starts pretty much when the temperature gets below freezing," said Luigi Romolo, a climatologist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. "The ice will start to form on the shores, the outer edge of the lake, we call that shore ice, and then it will start t...

How does lake effect snow form? The warmth and moisture of the lake transfers into the lowest portion of the atmosphere, and as the air rises clouds form and develop into a narrow band. Since water holds heat better than air, the winter months often see the below-freezing air passing over...
How did Lake Victoria form? How was the Ngorongoro Crater created? What do the Ural Mountains create? How does Arctic Sea ice form? How were the Southern Alps formed? How is a volcanic island formed? How was Italy formed geologically?
How does a surface wave form?Surface Waves:Surface waves are a type of seismic wave that travels along the space where two different media/substances meet, such as water and air or rock and air. For example, the waves seen at the surface of a lake or ocean are a type of surface wave...
Does the water body only get small waves (i.e., smaller than 1ft/30cm in height)? Is the water body relatively uniform in temperature? If these questions can be answered with a “yes,” the water body is likely a pond and not a lake.1 ...
If the amount of glacial ice formation in the zone of accumulation equals the amount of melting in the zone of wastage, then the glacier does not advance or retreat. While the ice within the glacier continues to flow away form the source toward the terminus, the toe of the glacier will ...
“Social media is our most effective form of communication,” Venen said. “We use it not only to provide information about upcoming programs and events, but as a way to educate and entertain.” The transparency offered by social is particularly important to Lake Metroparks. “The open nature...
What is a Salt Dome? A salt dome is a mound or column of salt that has intruded upwards into overlying sediments. Salt domes can form in a sedimentary basin where a thick layer of salt is overlain by younger sediments of significant thickness. Where conditions allow, salt domes can rise ...
