The Caspian Sea is the biggest one with an area of about, km(varying rather much since the Caspian Sea is a terminal lake), which is% of the world’s lake area. Most lakes are “young” and temporary features of the landscape. Some of the largest lakes on Earth belong to this category. Figure 7 The deepest and oldest lakes in the world have evolutes from tectonic processes. Lakes gradually fill with sediments Streams move and migrate (laterally and down) Major processes and types of lakes include the following Themajor lake types on Earth areTectonic lakes formed by movements of the deeper part of the Earth’s crust, e.g., lakes form by tilting, folding, or warping, such as the Central African Rift lakes. Lakes occupy about % of the earth’s surface. The Caspian Sea, the Sea of Aral, and other lakes from the Pontocaspian area A lake is a reflection of its watershed.
