Detailed explanation-1: -2. A lake is much deeper than a pond. The sun rays do not reach under the lake. On the other hand, a pond is not deep, and the sun rays can easily fall beneath it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lakes are normally much deeper than ponds and have a larger surface area. All the water in a pond is in the photic zone, meaning ponds are shallow enough to allow sunlight to reach the bottom.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, lakes tend to be larger and/or deeper than ponds, but numerous examples exist of “ponds” that are larger and deeper than “lakes.” For example, Echo “Lake” in Conway is 14 acres in surface area with a maximum depth of 11 feet, while Island “Pond” in Derry is nearly 500 acres and 80 feet deep.
Detailed explanation-4: -A lake is a large body of water surrounded by land that is either open or closed. A pond is a relatively small water body. Lakes are thousands of meters deep. Ponds are only a few feet deep.
Detailed explanation-5: -Rill – a shallow channel of running water. These can be either natural or man-made. Also: a very small brook; rivulet; small stream.
