How is a kettle lake formed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By melting of a buried ice block that leaves a depression
A kettle lake forms when a large block of stagnant glacial ice becomes buried within sand and gravel deposited by meltwater. When that isolated ice block later melts, it leaves a closed depression. Rainwater, groundwater, or meltwater may fill the hollow and create a lake. Thus option B is correct; the other options describe coastal, fluvial, and karst processes.
