Lakes and ponds are permanently wet year round. The main difference between a lake and a pond is the size. A lake is usually defined as a body of water large enough to have at least one wind-swept beach; ponds usually are not large enough for winds to blow across the water and create waves to wash away the plants that may be trying to take root. A lake is too deep for rooted plants to grow except near the shore. The deepest lake is Lake Superior, one of the five Great Lakes in the northeastern part of the United States. Lakes are generally composed of fresh water; although one exception is Salt Lake in Salt Lake City, Utah. Often lakes are attached to each other in a chain-like pattern and flow in and out of each other like the Chain-O-Lakes in Wisconsin. Many times, lakes are the source for some rivers. These rivers and lakes often share similar characteristics and habitats.

(3 hundred m) above sea point. on the different hand, there are landforms in Scotland that upward push just some hundred meters above sea point, yet their morphologic features or shape look to qualify them as mountains. no longer only are their slopes steep, however the presence of glaciers and snow-capped peaks, with their attendant extreme climate and rocky, inhospitable soil, additionally look to show the topography linked with mountains.
