i)Lake Nakuru is a Rift valley lake .
-Layers of rocks were subjected to tensional forces
-Continued tensional forces led to formation of normal faults
-The middle block of land sunk forming a Rift Valley
-Secondary faulting occurred followed by further subsidence
-This led to formation of a hollow
-The holow was filled with water from incoming rivers to form Lake Nakuru
ii)Lake Paradise is a crater on Mount Marsabit
-Great pressure existed on the mantle
-Lines of weakness developed on the crust
-Magma was extruded through the vent to the earth's surface
-It cooled and solidified to form mount Marsabit
-The pipe was blocked by solidified magma
-Great pressure blew off the top of the mountain leading to formation of a crater
-Underground water and rain water filled the crater forming Lake paradise.
