To explain further, what stops lakes from simply seeping into the dirt, and thus vanishing? As a follow up question, what stops water from getting evaporated, and then the clouds move somewhere else and rain, thus depriving the lake of the water it lost?
In: Earth Science
Lakes are usually fed by rivers, streams, springs, or regular rainfall.
They do lose water to seepage and evaporation, and that water is replaced by new water coming in. If no water comes in, the lake eventually dries up.
