Do you have a favorite lake or ocean? Do you like any aquatic activities?
The deepest lake in the world is Lake Baikal (especially if one considers the accumulated sludge in the bottom to be part of the depth of the lake). Lake Baikal was caused a rift where the Asian continent started splitting apart. Crater lakes are the second deepest type of lake, while glacial lakes come in third. (In general).
Glacial lakes also tend to have very steep sides, and be long and narrow (although there are round ones as well, typically higher in the mountains. If the glacier is still around, they tend to have interesting watercolors due to fine particulates suspended in the water.
