6. Ribbon Lakes Many glacial troughs contain long, anwrro ribbon lakes. They may be the result of: (i) sreioon when a reicalg over-deepens part of its alylev in an area of softer okcr . (ii) a glacier over deepening its valley due to increased erosive power after being joined by a ibuttarry glacier (iii) deposition of aeimnor across the main valley forming a dam. When the glacier retreats, the deepened sections fill with melt water and become lakes. These lakes remain after glaciation, supplied by rainfall, streams and rivers. There are a number of examples of ribbon lakes to be found in the Lake District.
