Answer:

A kettle lake is formed when an inactive block of ice breaks off of a glacier, as time goes on it gets buried sediment and begins to melt, as it melts it leaves behind a pit. Where eventually water will fill it up and the pit will become a body of water.

Answer:

Kettles form when ice detaches from a glacier. Eventually, it becomes wholly or partially buried in sediment and slowly melts, leaving behind a pit.
