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.
A lake (in Scotland a loch and in Ireland a lough) is an area (prototypically filled with water, also of variable size), localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Fjord lake: A lake in a glacially eroded valley that has been eroded below sea level. 2  Oxbow lake: A lake which is formed when a wide meander from a stream or a river is cut off to form a lake. 3  They are called oxbow lakes due to the distinctive curved shape that results from this process.
