Which lake feature results from localized, intense weathering?

💡 Explanation

Thermokarst lakes form due to thawing permafrost and subsequent ground collapse caused by localized, intense thermal weathering; this ground subsidence carves out depressions, because surface energy thaws the ice rather than other geological restructuring methods, therefore creating lakes.
