Question

If water from a spring can't flow downwards, it can spread out to form one of 2 things.  what are they?

Answer 1

pond or lake

Water flowing out of the ground at a spring may flow downhill and enter a stream. Thats what happens to the water that flows out of Big Spring in Missouri. If the water from a spring cant flow downhill, it may spread out to form a pond or lake instead. Lake George in New York State, which is pictured in Figure below , is a spring-fed lake. The lake basin was carved by a glacier.
