Question
Describe how the process of crustal warping leads to formation of lakes.
Answer
- Earth movements cause crustal downwarping.
- This leads to the formation of a basin like depression.
- Uplifting of landmasses around the depression diverted the flow of rivers into the depression causing reversed drainage.
- Deposition onto the depression resulted in to further downwarping.
- Water from the rivers accumulated in the depression to form a lake.
