Landslide lakes are lakes created by the blockage of a valley by either mudflows , rockslides , or screes . Such lakes are common in mountainous regions . Although landslide lakes may be large and quite deep , they are typically short-lived . An example of a landslide lake is Quake Lake , which formed as a result of the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake
