what constitutes the difference btween a lake and a pond in area or volume?

From growing up on a large property with its own pond I can tell you the average person today at least appears to be less likely to know the difference between a pond and a lake. We had a pond that was ¾ of a football field that my Dad had built (mostly planning, location, a rented backhoe and rain) and I don’t remember anyone who didn’t call it a lake. As much as we corrected them to tell them it was a pond the idea didn’t seem to stick, mostly because we were the only ones who seemed to care whether there even was a difference. \n\n\nThere is a difference between a pond and a lake and it grows primarily out of the source of creation, as with all living things – yes I said living, but we’ll get to that. A lake was made by God; a pond is always man made. As such you might expect ponds, each being made by different men, to look a lot different from one to another and to be stocked with different varieties of plant and animal life from pond to pond, and you’d be right. Some ponds are stocked with fish of one kind and some of another. And some ponds are stocked with fish of many kinds or groups of kinds that can live together, with their natural plant life under the water for food. Where fish are stocked that tend to devour each other or where the proper natural food or other living environment have not been provided you may find plant life only or just a big hole in the ground with water in it. \n\n\n \nA lake by contrast has occurred naturally. Since no man had to commit to a certain amount of time to build it, it can be quite large and so is generally larger than any pond. Now both must be inland. That means they are a body of water surrounded by a lot of land rather than like an island which is a body of land surrounded by a lot of water. Ponds are more often stocked than lakes as lakes have inlets that carry fish but with ponds, just as men create them if man doesn’t put the fish there, they don’t get there. Lakes tend to be teaming with fish of kinds that survive together by natural occurrence. Again the inlets of water tend to nurture such an environment. A lake is also less likely to get fished out. A pond however doesn’t replace its own supply of underwater life as mentioned before.\nSo the volume is not a factor in determining the difference between a pond and a lake.

ahh, huge ponds. crazy how they separate.

Every minute 1/60 of the pond comes in the inlet pipe and 1/80 of the full pond goes out.  So you find the difference:  \n\n(1/60)x - (1/80)x = (8/480)x-(6/480)x=(2/480)x= 1/240x\n\nwhere x is the amount of water that would fill the pond\n\n1/240 of the amount of water to fill the pond comes in every minute.  It should take 240 minutes for the pond to fill up.

Well, the ice at ice rinks are pretty thick. I've seen on ebay ice rinks you set up in backyards.Those rinks fill up to 3 inches, so that is a minimum of how thick it should be. Pond ice should be about 5 inches, as backyard rinks do not crack, yet ponds are purely capeable of doing so.

During winter the water at the surface of lake or pond gets cooled.\n\nDue to cooling density of water increases; denser water\ngoes down, while the relatively hot water comes up. This is convection.\n\nBut water has a peculiar property that below 4 degree C it becomes less dense.\n\nTherefore when the surface temperature is 4degree and below, the water at the surface cannot go down. Hence convection of water is stopped. \n\nThe temperature increases relative to water surface.  If the temperature of the water surface reaches freezing temperature, ice is formed on the surface and the freezing takes place from top to bottom.\n\nThus lives of water living creatures are saved from freezing.

Of course, you would have to convert the English to Metric, but...\n\nObtain the volume (in cubic feet) of the water (i.e. Length times width times height)\nConvert cubic feet to gallons (i.e. 7.48 gallons/cubic foot)\nObtain the weight of the water (i.e. 8.34 pounds/gallon)

Area is the measure of the two-dimensional size of any shape. Area is calculated in different ways for different shapes, for example, for a rectangle A = l x h (length multiplied by height), for a triangle A = 1/2 b x h (half of the base multiplied by the height), and for a circle A = pie x r^2 (pie multiplied by the square of the radius).\n\nPerimeter is simply the distance around a figure, or the total length of the border of a shape. Again, perimeter is calculated in different ways for different shapes. For a rectangle, P = 2 (l + h) and for a circle the perimeter is called the 'circumference', nd calculated by the formula C = 2 x pie x r.

It means 6 cm irrespective of area. Take any container, and let rain fall in it. Whatever be the area of cross-section of the container, the same height the water will reach. This is because lesser the area, lesser the area, lesser rain enters, but faster does the water level rise.\nThe total amt. of water collected can be found by multiplying the area of the container with the height of water.

Well, you are talking a volume compared to a weight.\n\nA gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.

The definition of the volume of an object is just how much space it occupies.\nIf you're looking for the formula for volume, then \nV = Pi(r^2)h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

peninsula: piece of land surrounded on 3 sides by water\ngulf: piece of water surrounded on  (sort of) 3 sides by land.  A large inlet.\nbay: a small gulf, which can be more open.

Yes, and Lake Michigan even qualifies as an "inland sea" because of its size.  Impress your teachers with that :)

If you are talking about a 3-D rectangle,\n\nThe volume of a rectangle is height times width times depth.  \n\nYou can also use base times height if its easier.\n\nhope this helps!

Perimeter is the distance around a figure. The area is the amount of space inside the shape. Good luck!

Think of as a sediment pond.  The idea is that any rain water on the surrounding area will run into the pond.  The pond will catch the impurities and sediment in the water and prevent contaminants further traveling downstream.  It is good for the environment and many housing and commercial developments make the construction of retention ponds standard.

pond is from the ancient Greek word pondulitis meaning a small hole with water in it\nand fish is from the Latin fishishishiopus meaning the place in which swimming creatures are found.\n\nso fishpond is the small hole with water in it where swimming creatures are found

you mean sphere? because it has the smallest surface area in terms of volume.
