More of the worldâs lakes were formed by glaciers than by any other method. During the Ice Age, much of the Northern Hemisphere was covered with great glaciers that cut or enlarged depressions in the earth which later filled with water. These are called glacial lakes.
Glaciers begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice. Each year, new layers of snow bury and compress the previous layers. This compression forces the snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to grains of sugar.
