| Comment |
Oriented lakes appear to develop by differential erosion of permafrost shorelines formed in fine-grained, homogeneous sediments under the influence of predominant winds. In some cases, bedrock structural control may also determine lake orientation. Oriented lakes also occur in non-permafrost environments.
