"If the water is deep enough that light does not penetrate to the bottom, and photosynthesis is limited to the top layer, the body of water is considered a lake. A pond is a body of water shallow enough to support rooted plants. Many times plants grow all the way across a shallow pond."
Not nearly as simple as the hill/mountain. We'll have to wait til Hosta's bruises subside enough for him to scuba dive in the middle and see whether photosynthesis is taking place at the bottom

You're very cheeky Verd - but I'll forgive you
Wonder when a pond becomes a lake Hosta? Hills become mountains at 3,000 feet - so is there a similar measurement for them, do you think...
I may have to ask Mr Google
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
