PondsIn many northern states, ponds will freeze during winter
Fish and plant life can live under frozen water due to the warmer temperatures
Why does only the surface of the pond freeze?

Lake TurnoverMost lakes change with the seasonsLake turnover happens in the winter when the warmer water cools and sinks to the bottom causing the water & nutrients to mix

EutrophicationAlgae feed on waste products from other animalsOver time more algae grows and covers a lake in a thick green scum which blocks out sunlightPlants die and the lake is starved of oxygenThe lake becomes shallower and will eventually disappear
