Peeling Skin, or Crystal Clear Lake?
One of the world’s biggest
wonders is lakes that are as clear as crystal that you are able to see down to
the bottom no matter how deep they are.
These lakes are called oligotrophic
lakes which means that the lakes have fewer nutrients in the water and plants
don’t thrive in it. This results in clearer water. On the other hand, we have eutrophic
lakes that have lots of nutrients and thus lots of plant life thus making the
water murkier. There is also the mesotrophic lake that falls right in between.
An oligotrophic lake is said
to be better for drinking water because of less biological activity.
