👉 Puddles are small, liquid pools in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. They form when water comes into contact with a surface that is not smooth or level (such as soil or rocks). These puddles can be large or small, but they often appear as a layer of water above the surface. Puddles can also be formed by natural processes like rain, snow, or ice melting, and are an important part of many aquatic ecosystems.
