Explanation

Wular Lake in Jammu and Kashmir is a tectonic lake formed by volcanic activity and tectonic movements. It is one of the largest freshwater lakes in India. Bhimtal, Pulicat, and Barapani are primarily oxbow lakes or lagoons formed by river action or coastal processes rather than tectonic activity. Tectonic lakes are created by earth movements, faulting, or volcanic activity.
