Of these four lakes, which ones are above the water table?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lakes above the water table are referred to as "perched" lakes, meaning they are on top of a layer of impermeable rock or sediment that prevents water from draining down into the water table. Based on the image provided, lakes 1 and 4 appear to be perched lakes as they sit on top of hills (which may be made of impermeable rock/sediment) and have streams flowing into them. Lakes 2 and 3, however, are located in low-lying areas and do not appear to be perched lakes.
