LAKE

Lake Ann in North Cascades National Park, Washington

A lake is a body of water that is surrounded by land. There are millions of lakes in
the world. They are found on every continent and in every kind of environment—in
mountains and deserts, on plains, and near seashores. Lakes vary greatly in size.
 OCEAN
Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It
extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean in the south, and
is bounded by the continents of Asia and Oceania in the west and the Americas in
the east.
 STREAM
Rocky stream in Italy

A stream is a continuous body of surface water[1] flowing within the bed and banks of
a channel. Depending on its location or certain characteristics, a stream may be
referred to by a variety of local or regional names. Long, large streams are usually
called rivers, while smaller, less voluminous and more intermittent streams are
known as streamlets, brooks or creeks.
 BAY
Wineglass Bay, Australia

Bay is a body of water partially surrounded by land. A bay is usually smaller and less
enclosed than a gulf. The mouth of the bay, where meets the ocean or lake, is
typically wider than that of a gulf. In naming bays and gulfs, people have not always
made these distinctions.
 RIVER
KUPA RIVER

A river is a ribbon-like body of water that flows downhill from the

force of gravity. A river can be wide and deep, or shallow enough
for a person to wade across. A flowing body of water that is smaller
than a river is called a stream, creek, or brook.
 POND

A pond is a small area of still, fresh water. It is different from a river or a stream
because it does not have moving water and it differs from a lake because it has a
small area and is no more than around 1.8m deep.
 CREEK

A creek is a watercourse that is a naturally occurring swale or depression or

engineered channel that carries fresh or estuarine water either seasonally or year
around.
 SPRNG
A spring is a water resource formed when the side of a hill, a valley bottom or other
excavation intersects groundwater at or below the local water table, below which the
subsurface material is saturated with water
 SEA
A sea is generally defined as a part of the ocean that is at least partially bordered by
land. While there is no very clear-cut definition between a sea and an ocean, seas
are much smaller.
 Reservoir
A reservoir is a type of human-created lake. They are most commonly found in areas
with hydroelectric dams, which are designed to dam up the outflow of a river,
creating a reservoir upstream.
