Of course they do ! You only have to notice that they're frozen solid in some seasons . . . at least around the shores.

The correct answer is - True.
The temperatures of the ponds and lakes vary in accordance to the season. The ponds, being smaller and shallower, change temperatures much quicker than the lakes. During the summer, the temperature of their water is the highest, and as the autumn comes, the water slowly starts to get cooler, in winter it is either on the verge of getting frozen or it is getting frozen, and as the temperatures rise in spring, the water starts to build on temperature again.

Temperatures in ponds and lakes vary by season, with warmer temperatures in summer and cooler temperatures in winter. This variation affects aquatic life and leads to processes like thermal stratification. Therefore, the answer to the question is True.
