    Lakes and ponds form from water collecting in low spots on the Earth's surface through glacial activity, rainfall, or melting snow and ice. Ponds are smaller bodies of water similar to lakes. Over time, lakes and ponds change as sediment, debris, and plant growth fill them in. Ponds transition to marshes as more plants grow and eventually the pond is filled in completely, leaving only a slight depression where it once was.
