Fucking ponds and lakes.

[Dino Clock]

This has been pissing me off like all day;
When does a pond stop being a pond and start being a lake?
I mean before you say "ponds are man-made" this is not always the case.
When does it turn from one to the other exactly?

Please save my sanity clock crew.

Also who ever satisfies my lust for an answer will get main character in my next movie

ponds aren't man-made, they're formed naturally by hollowing or embanking

lakes are just bigger, and don't dry up as easily.

edit: the internet is telling me lakes have areas that light doesn't touch well enough to stimulate plant growth, but ponds can grow plants all over themselves.

I always assumed ponds are small and lakes are large.

when does a puddle become a pond

But that'd mean that a large puddle in shade is a lake...

I need exact answers of when one is one and when one is the other and how you can distinguish the two!

If you can see from one end to the other, it's a pond. If you can't, it's a lake. I base this on a study I just made up.

Are you saying lakes can't be man-made?

[Dino Clock]

Are you saying lakes can't be man-made?

No, are you?

I'm saying the fundamental difference is not man's intervention.

There is an "n" within the pond and lake discussion which turns one into the other. An exact point when it stops being one thing and starts being another.

[EnglishClock]

In the United Kingdom, where the charity Pond Conservation has made some of the most extensive studies of ponds,the now widely adopted definition of a pond is 'A man-made or natural waterbody which is between 1 m2 and 2 hectares (~5 acres or 20,000 m²) in area, which holds water for four months of the year or more'.[2].

There you go.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL AND LARGE I MUST HAVE ANSWERS

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL AND LARGE I MUST HAVE ANSWERS

Someone has missed the concept of this discussion.

Its not the difference between "small and large", it's the difference between what makes one entity what it is and and what point does it change to another one through a minute definition.

Sort your life out son.
