Why does Finland have so many lakes?

Because Finland is a country close to the Arctic Circle. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Finland was covered by ice like the Arctic and Antarctic. After hundreds of thousands of years of ice movement and ice gravity, the ground has become uneven, the ground has sunk in some places, and the ice has become thicker and thicker. Later, the climate gradually warmed and the ice melted, and the stones and sand in the glaciers accumulated on the ground, making the original ground more uneven and pitted. Later, after all the ice and snow melted, lakes gradually formed in these low-lying areas.

In addition to Finland, countries such as Canada and Sweden also have similar situations to Finland. There are also many lakes in these countries.

Finland’s forest coverage rate is very high. Dotted around the lake, the metropolis is surrounded by lush forests. The national ecological environment is better among developed countries.
