Letely I've became very fond of Baikal Lake. It has many wonders to it. And it's also the Deepest lake on this planet. In the winter. the lake freezes. And the shape of the ice is outstanding. The Marine life also has fishes I never heard of.. So every once in awhile. I will be posting some Science information on this site. hoping that you will enjoy, what is beyond anything you can dream of... I always search and study different kinds of Geographic, Marine life & Space.. I have gather this info from bing.com.. I still have lot more to learn from this lake... Did you know that there is a lake in South America that has fresh water seahorses? Also did you know that Earth was nothing but a deadly gas planet?
Lake Baikal in southern Russia is the world's deepest lake. It is 5,314 feet deep (1,637 meters) and it's bottom is at 4,215 feet (1,285 meters) below sea level. Lake Baikal is also the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume.
It is difficult to comprehend how a lake in the middle of a continent could have a bottom that is 4,215 feet below sea level. It is impossible for erosion to cut a channel that deep in the middle of a continent. The lake is so deep because it is located in an active continental rift zone. The rift zone is widening at a rate of about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) per year. As the rift grows wider it also grows deeper through subsidence. So, Lake Baikal could grow wider and deeper in the future.
