Question

Which sequence of steps describes the life cycle of a lake?

A. Runoff fills a depression - sediments build up - water becomes
increasingly shallow
B. Runoff fills a depression - sediments are eroded - water becomes deeper
C. Runoff fills a depression - sediments build up
- water rises continuously
D. Runoff fills a depression - sediments are eroded - water spreads over a wider area

Answer 1

The actual sequence of steps which describe the life cycle of a lake is given below:

C. Runoff fills a depression - sediments build up

- water rises continuously

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because, the water which builds up as a result of the runoff water accumulating on the depression helps towards building up. When it must have accumulated greatly, it ends up forming a lake.
