Explanation:

Over time, natural processes like erosion and sedimentation occur. Eroded soil and other materials (sediment) are carried by water (such as runoff from the surrounding land) into the lake. As this sediment accumulates, it gradually fills in the lake. Lakes do not typically just evaporate completely and become dry in a general, long - term natural progression (unless in very specific arid conditions with no water input). Also, they do not get larger and deeper over time through natural sediment - related processes; instead, the opposite (filling in) is more common due to sediment deposition.

Answer:

They fill in with sediment.
