18 Aerial Views of Lakes Michael Collier, Image Source: Earth Science World Image Bank These lakes are found in Arizona's White Mountains. Some are well known fishing spots. 2
19 Lake at Sunset Michael Collier, Image Source: Earth Science World Image Bank This sunset is over Arizona's 130 acre Crescent Lake in the White Mountains at an elevation of 8,900 feet. It lies 41 miles southeast of Pinetop. Surrounded by forests and rolling meadows, Crescent Lake is known for its brook and rainbow trout. 3

21 Lakes Formed by Landslides Earthen Dam Bruce Molnia, Terra Photographics, Image Source: Earth Science World Image Bank Earthquake Lake was formed by the damming of Montana's Madison River as a result of a 1959 landslide caused by an earthquake. 5
22 Lakes Formed from Rivers Michael Collier, Image Source: Earth Science World Image Bank Lake Cormorant in Mississippi was formerly a meander of the Mississippi River. When the river came out of its banks, it carved a new course and this body became a cutoff meander and as the river built up its natural levee, it separated from Lake Cormorant. 6
23 Lakes Formed by Human-made Dams Bruce Molnia, Terra Photographics, Image Source: Earth Science World Image Bank In this aerial view, Hoover Dam is seen in the lower left corner. This dam was constructed between 1930 and 1936 as Boulder Dam, and renamed in honor of president Herbert Hoover in The dam impounds Lake Mead and is used for flood and silt control, power, irrigation, and industrial and domestic water supplies. 7
24 Glacial Lakes P. Carrara Courtesy of the United States Geological Survey, Image Source: Earth Science World Image Bank Large blocks of glacially derived material were dumped at the down-valley side of the glacier when it was active. The moraine dammed melt waters from the receding glacier to form a lake. 8
