Explanation:

• When meanders get cut off: Oxbow lakes form this way and are freshwater.
• When landslides block rivers: Creates a natural dam, forming a freshwater lake.
• From melting ice from glaciers: Glacial meltwater can accumulate to form freshwater lakes.
• When seawater flows inland: Forms salt - water bodies (like lagoons in some cases), not freshwater lakes.
