Some of them, like Crater Lake, don't have outlets (other than seepage through the underlying rock). Others change size depending on how much precipitation there has been in any given year, e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malheur_Lake Some kinds of grasses do grow in water, and lake levels may change, so that areas that are above water in one season or year may be underwater in another. | |

What you call grass is waterweed, and grass not only gros underwater, it grows in sea water. Haven't you heard of sea grass meadows? They are an important part of the marine ecosystem. | |

I really think the lake in the video with the full lake sometimes drains out because I saw grass in it and grass doesn't grow underwater. If it drains out, it's probably the same lake. | |

| Nov 15, 2019 at 4:32 | comment | added | Timothy | I cannot tell whether or not this answer solved my problem until I know whether you mean it drains into the drain hole at the bottom. If you give me inaccurate information, I might have not way to tell. It's okay, mistakes happen but you like reputation points, right? That's probably because it's a sign that you're a good contributor. What would really make you a good contributor is if you think for yourself and give an accurate answer and clearly explain it. If that doesn't solve my problem, it's better for the network if you allow other people to take turns to contribute than to write an | |
