Lakes are most abundant in high northern latitudes and in mountain regions‚ particularly those that were covered by glaciers in recent geologic times. The primary sources of lake water are melting ice and snow‚ springs‚ rivers‚ runoff from the land surface‚ and direct precipitation. In the upper part of lakes there is a good supply of light‚ heat‚ oxygen‚ and nutrients‚ well distributed by currents and turbulence. As a result‚ a large number of diverse aquatic organisms can be found there. The most

Earthquakes are vibrations of earth caused by the rapid release of energy. These earthquakes can be caused by faults in the Earth’s crust scraping against each other. Faults are constantly sliding past each other‚ but can occasionally have difficulty when the earth around these faults cracks‚ causing the path to become rugged. When they don’t slide easily‚ they cause tension. When the tension and pressure is released‚ this causes said vibrations that can be large enough to damage and destroy cities
