[[Natural]] lakes on [[Earth]] are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing or recent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier glaciation]. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the [[course]]s of [[mature]] [[rivers]]. In some parts of the world there are many lakes because of chaotic drainage [[patterns]] left over from the last [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Age Ice Age]. All lakes are [[temporary]] over [[geologic time scale]]s, as they will slowly fill in with sediments or spill out of the basin containing them.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake]
