The largest and most beautiful lakes of Russia. Lake of lakes: Hike around the neighborhood of the city of Lakes of the Moscow region What lake is big and beautiful
At the border of the United States and Canada, there is a genuine miracle of nature - great lakes containing one fifth of all fresh water on the planet. This is one of the most famous reservoirs of the world, in terms of water inferior only to Baikal, and the greatest cluster of fresh water on Earth ...
District of the Great Lakes in the USA
Five Great Lakes
Total Great Lakes Five, the highest upper water with 12 thousand square kilometers, that is, more than four other lakes combined. In addition, the upper lake is the cleanest, less contaminated from all, as the territory around it is less urbanized. The upper lake is under careful protection that controls the state of its ecology and prohibiting emissions of harmful substances.
The second size of the lake is Michigan, the name of which is translated as "big water". This is the only great lake that is completely in the United States. It is connected with Lake Huron, the third largest. The fourth list is Ontario with the largest watershed area in relation to the surface of the lake. This is a pretty deep lake, in some places its depth reaches almost two hundred and fifty meters.
And the last on the area of \u200b\u200bthe lake from the system of the Great Lakes is Erie, which is strongly contaminated. It is even called him dead lake: In 1969, there was a fire on the shore of one of the rivers, which began to sparkled on the surface of the water in an amazing way - so much petrochemical waste was in it. After that, the government began to create water protection regulations. Great lakes are a large storage of fresh water, but even if you take the total amount of water of five lakes, it will not exceed the volume of water in Lake Baikal, which is located in B.
Cities on Great Lakes
The first city, which appeared in the Great Lakes area, became, which by the end of the 19th century turned into a major industrial Metallurgical Center of the United States. On the bank of Erie soon a city appeared in which there were also many metallurgical and engineering plants. The city of Buffalo on the northern coast of Erie is not only an industrial, but also a transport center, the canal begins near him, which connects the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.
On the Detroit River, arising from Erie to Huron, is the city of the same name, former center Lesorubok and sawmills - the city in the past was surrounded by a dense forest, from which there was nothing left today. After the logging in the city stopped, the industrialists began to build car plants in Detroit, let's have tanks and aircraft during the war years.
The largest city of the Great Lakes is Chicago, located in the south of Lake Michigan. It was founded in 1803 as a port and thanks to its convenient location rapidly grew and developed. From the center of the country, Wheat and Cattle delivered to the city, and soon Chicago became the center of the agricultural district. Here were the largest breadcrops in the 19th century, agricultural machinery and slaughter plants. In the 20th century, the top lake began to extract iron, which allowed the city to develop even faster. A lot of factories built in Chicago, which brought ore and coal right from the lakes.
Today, Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States, the city of skyscrapers. There is no nearby big City - Near the lake top at all there are no major settlements. It is surrounded by swamps, small forests and plains.

Over two million lakes are located throughout our homeland. Some of them are small, others are affected by their majesticity and length of several hundred kilometers. Many lakes in Russia sheltered in their territory of the city, they will be discussed in our article.
Lake Baikal
Baikal is the deepest lake on the planet, it is rightly called the greatest reservoir for fresh water in Russia. Baikal is located in two regions - Irkutsk region and Buryatia.
This reservoir has an area of \u200b\u200b31 thousand km², the length of the coastline is over 2000 km² and the maximum depth of 1642 meters.
(Village Latvyanka)
On the coastal part of the lake there are many settlements, ranging from large cities and ending with small villages like a cooler or foliage. The major cities located on the territory of Baikal include Irkutsk (a population of over 600 thousand people) and Ulan-Ude (population of about 430 thousand), to less inhabited - Severobaykalsk, Baikalsk, Slyudyanka and Babushkin.

Three rivers flow into it - the upper curves, segge and the bodge, and only the River Lower Beach flows.
On the north-western shore of the lake spread out a small town of Segezha, possessing the population of 27 thousand people. In the 1960s, this city was the cultural and industrial center of the district, and the available enterprise for processing paper products was considered leading in the USSR.
All of us, with the word "lake", imagine a certain quiet water, surrounded by the visible line of the shore. In this article there will be no such lakes. Have you ever heard about the lakes on which storm waves arise, and which are superior to some seas?
I present to your attention a selection of the "biggest lakes of the world", which includes the 10 largest lakes. Read, Evaluate, leave comments and reviews in discussions.

The biggest lake in the world - Caspian Sea.
The Caspian Sea heads the rating - despite the fact that it is called the sea, in fact, this is the most huge faceless lake on the planet. It is located at the junction of Europe and Asia, and the sea is called only because of its sizes. The Caspian Sea is a faceless lake, and the water in it is salty, from 0.05 ‰ near the mouth of the Volga to from 11-13 in the southeast.
The Caspian Sea is similar to the Latin letter S, the length of it from north to south is about 1,200 kilometers, from the west to the east - from 195 to 435 kilometers, an average of 310-320 kilometers.
The Caspian Sea is conditionally divided by physico-geographical conditions on 3 parts - the North Caspian, the average Caspian and South Caspian. The conditional boundary between the Northern and Medium Caspian passes through the line Chechen (Island) - Tuba Karagan Cape, between the Middle and South Caspian - along the residential (island) - Gan-Gulu (Cape). The Square of the Northern, Middle and South Caspian is, respectively, 25, 36, 39 percent of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe Caspian Sea.
The length of the coastline of the Caspian Sea is estimated at about 6500 - 6,700 kilometers, with islands - up to 7,000 kilometers. The shores of the Caspian Sea for most of its territory - low and smooth. In the northern part, the coastline is cut by water ducts and the islands of the Volga and Urals delta, the shores are low and wetlands, and the water surface is covered with thickets in many places.
On the eastern coast Limestone shores are predomined, adjacent to semi-deserts and deserts. The most winding banks - on the west coast in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Absheron Peninsula and on the Eastern Coast in the Kazakh Bay area and Kara-Bogaz-goal.
The territory adjacent to the Caspian Sea is called the Caspian.
Square and water volume Caspian Sea Significantly varies depending on the water level fluctuations. At the water level of 26.75 m, the area is approximately 371,000 km square kilometers, water volume - 7,8648 cubic kilometers, which is approximately 44 percent of world reserves of lake water. The maximum depth of the Caspian Sea is in the South Caspian depression, 1025 meters from its surface. The magnitude of the maximum depth of the Caspian Sea is inferior only to Baikal (1620 m) and Tanganic (1435 m). The average depth of the Caspian Sea is 208 meters. At the same time, the northern part of the Caspian Seamy, its maximum depth does not exceed 25 meters, and medium depth - 4 meters.

In second place among confidently fixed lake top - The largest, deep and cold of great lakes and, part-time, the largest freshwater lake in the world.
In the north, the top lake is limited to the territory of the Canadian province of Ontario, in the West - American staff, in the south - Wisconsin and Michigan states.
The lakes of the Upper and Northern part of Lake Huron were developed in the crystalline rocks of the southern part of the Canadian shield, the rest of the lakes - in the thickness of limestone, Dolomites and sandstones of Paleozoic of the North American platform. The basin of the upper lake was formed as a result of tectonic movements, funnikovy river and glacial erosion.
The origin of the aqueous mass of the upper lake is associated with the melting of the glacial cover, during the retreat of which a number of large lakes were formed in this area repeatedly changed their outlines.
In the northern part of the Great Lakes, the coastline is disseminated, the island and the shore (height of up to 400 m) rocky, ripples, very picturesque, especially the shores of the Lake of the Upper and Northern part of Lake Huron.
The fluctuations in the level of the upper lake are artificially regulated for shipping purposes, energy, etc. The amplitude of seasonal oscillations is 30-60 cm, the highest level is observed in the summer, the lowest - in winter. Short-term level fluctuations caused by strong hugging winds and seishes reach 3-4 m, tide height 3-4 cm

Troika Lake Victoria - Lake in East Africa, in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Located in the tectonic deflection of the East African platform, at an altitude of 1134 m. This is the 2nd largest fresh lake peace after the top lake and the biggest lake in Africa
He opened the lake and called him in honor of Queen Victoria British traveler John Henning Speaker in 1858.
Area lake Victoria 68 thousand km. KV, length 320 km, the largest width is 275 km. It is part of Victoria reservoir. Many islands. Multiple River Kager, flows out the Victoria-Neal River. Lake Shipino, local residents are engaged in fisheries.
The northern coast of the lake crosses the equator. Lake Ply maximum depth 80 m refers to sufficiently deep lakes.
Unlike deep-sea neighbors, Tangani and Nyasy, who lie within the system of the Gorges of Africa, Lake Victoria fills the small depression between the Eastern and Western parties of the Greater Gorge Valley. The lake gets a huge amount of water from rain, more than all of his tributaries.
30 million people live in the vicinity of the lake. On the southern and western banks of the lake, Hey's people live, who knew how to grow coffee long before the coming of Europeans. Main ports: Entebbe (Uganda), Mwanza, Bound (Tanzania), Kisumu (Kenya), near the northern coast of Campla, the capital of Uganda.

Lake Huron It is fourth on scale among. This is a lake in the USA and Canada, one of the North American Great Lakes. Located east of Lake Michigan, connected to him by the Strait of Makinak. From the point of view of Hydrography, Michigan and Huron form a single system (they are connected by the Strait of Makinak), but they are geographically taken to individual lakes.
Guron Square is about 59.6 thousand km. KV (second on the square among the great lakes). Surface height above sea level is about 176 m (as well as Michigan), depth up to 229 m.
Michigan states and Canadian province of Ontario have the lake. The main ports on Hurone - Sagino, Bay City, Alpine (USA) and Sarnia (Canada).
The name of the lake, entered by the French by the French, comes from the name of the Indian tribe of gurons. Manitulin is located on Gurone - the largest island of the world, located in a fresh lake.

In the middle of the list, on the 5th place among is lake Michigan - One of the North American Great Lakes.
The only of the Great Lakes, fully located in the United States. Located south lake The top, connected to the Guron Lake Strait Makinak, with the Mississippi River System - Channel Channel - Lockorport.
From the point of view of hydrography, Michigan and Huron form a single system, but they are taken geographically by individual lakes.
Area Michigan - About 57,750 km2 (third in area among great lakes), length of about 500 km, width about 190 km. Surface height above sea level - 177 m (as well as Huron), the depth of up to 281 m. The ice is covered for about four months a year. Islands - Beaver, Northern Manito, South Manitu.
Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin are released to the lake. Big cities On Lake Michigan include Chicago, Evanton and Highland Park (Illinois), Milwaukee and Green Bay (Wisconsin), Gary and Hammond (Indiana).

Sixth among is Aral Sea.
Aral Sea - Flat Salt Lake in Central Asia, on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Since the 1960s of the 20th century, the sea level (and the volume of water in it) is rapidly reduced due to water intake from the main supply rivers Amudarya and Syrdarya for irrigation. Before the annoyance of the Aral Sea was the fourth largest lake in the world.
The collector-drainage waters coming from the fields in Syrdarya and Amudarya fields have caused deposits from pesticides and various other agricultural cakes that appear places for 54 thousand km. KV of the former seabed, covered with salt. Dusty storms spread salt, dust and pesticides at a distance of up to 500 km. Sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate are transferred through air and destroy or slow down the development of natural vegetation and crops. The local population suffers from the great prevalence of respiratory diseases, anemia, larynx and esophagus cancer, as well as digestive disorders. Diseases of liver and kidney disease, eye diseases.
In 2001, as a result of the fall in the water level of the Water Island, the Renaissance was connected with the mainland. On this island Soviet Union Tried bacteriological weapons: the pathogens of the Siberian ulcers, Tularemia, Brucecelysis, plague, typhoid, smallpox, and botulinum toxin were checked here on horses, monkeys, sheep, donkets and other laboratory animals. This is the reason for the concerns that mortally dangerous microorganisms have retained vitality, and infectious rodents can become their distributors to other regions.
According to the calculations of scientists, to save the Aral Sea is no longer possible. Even if you completely abandon the fence of water from Amu Darya and Syrdarya, then the former water level in it will be restored no earlier than in 200 years.
The Aral Sea once occupied 68 thousand kilometers and was the fourth in the area in the world. Now its area is about 10% of the last century fixed in the 60s. Snapshots 1989 and 2003:
Since the 1950s, and to the present time, the projects for the construction of the channel for transferring water from the Obi pool to the Aral Sea pool, which would significantly develop the priaral economy (in particular, agriculture) and partially revive the Aral Sea. Such construction will require very large material costs (from several States of Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan), therefore, there is no practical implementation of these speech projects yet.
Some scientists predict the Aral Sea will have a complete disappearance by 2020 ...

Lake Tanganyika — large lake In Central Africa. This is one of the same as ancient by origin. In terms of the volume and depth of Tanganyika ranks second after Baikal. The shores of the lake belong to the four countries - the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Zambia and Burundi.
The length of the lake is about 650 km, width - 40-80 km. Area 34 thousand km.kv. Lies at an altitude of 773 meters above sea level in the tectonic wpadine of the East African fault zone. Coastal landscapes, as a rule, are huge rocks and only from the east side of the shore. On the west coast, the steep side walls of the East African rift zone forming the coastline reach 2000 m in height. Coastline Covered by coves and bays. The biggest one is the Bay of Burton. It feeds the lake from several tributaries. The only flowing river - Lukuga (Lukuga) begins in the middle part western coast And going to the West, connecting with the River Zaire, flowing into the Atlantic.
In the lake there are hippos, crocodiles, a lot of waterfowl. Fisheries and shipping are well developed.
The antiquity of the lake and the long period of isolation ended in the development of a large number of endemic organisms, including from the Cichlidae family (cichlid). Of the more than 200 species inhabitants in the lake of fish about 170 endemic.
Tanganyika populated up to about 200 m, below this mark there is a high concentration of hydrogen sulfide and life is missing until the bottom. This lake layer is a huge "burial ground", consisting of organic yla and sedimentary mineral compounds.
Tanganyki water temperature strictly varies in layers. So, in the upper layer, the temperature ranges from 24 to 30 degrees, with a decrease in large depths. Because of the different density of water and the lack of bottom flow, the layers are not mixed, and the temperature on the lower horizons reaches only 6-8 degrees.
The depth of the temperature leap layer is about 100 m. The water of tangany is very transparent (up to 30 m). In it in small concentrations, a set of salts was dissolved, so that in its composition it resembles a strongly diluted marine. The rigidity of water (mainly due to the salts of magnesium) ranges from 8 to 15 degrees. Water has an alkaline reaction, pH 8.0 - 9.5.
august 2007.
In July 1847, Brian Yang, the head of Mormonov, first saw the valley Salt Lake. Looking around these expanses, which in the future will become a house for many, he said: "This a good place". Holy Mormons, hoping for his patronage, followed him to the valley of the canyons, which they will soon call their home.
Cultural traditions
From the very first days of the founding of Salt Lake City, the predisposition of the city was obvious to become not only the capital of the state, but also his cultural Center. In 1912, the Capitolian Theater was built, in which theater theatrical troupes were stopped with water-style ideas. Since then, many theatrical, dance and ballet groups were performed on the stage of the theater, including the famous ballet of the West.
The city is known not only by his dance productions, but also an excellent symphony orchestra, which is known throughout the country and abroad. The addition of the Orchestra is the famous Mormon choir, who after Radio Debut in 1929 acquired world famous glory. Khora concerts produce a truly unforgettable impression on the listeners.
Art Center Salt Lake Another place for the formation of the cultural appearance of the city. Together, dance and theater groups, orchestras and choirs form many cultural tastes.
Heart of the city
Salt Lake City's heart is in historical center Cities where history and modernity, the uniqueness and traditional style are combined. This is confirmed by the buildings constituting Downtown Area.
Church of Jesus Christ of the Last Days is the main attraction of the city, which is difficult not to notice. In it, as in other vintage buildings, there is a particle of the history and culture of Mormon. The church is a link between the past and the city's architectural look. A huge role in the life of the church is played by the Institute of Family, who is given one of the most important places in the daily life of society.
Museums
Among lovers of museums here, everyone will find themselves what will be to him. Most museums are concentrated in the center, close to each other. They are keepers of certain moments of the history of the city and staff. They can find collections of exhibits from old carts to modern cars, from guns and other weapons to the latest innovations in the world of electronics.
In Pioneer Memorial Museum you can see the expositions of clothing, household goods, weapons that were used until 1800. Similar exposure with archival photos is represented in The Utah Historical Society Houses.
Car lists should certainly visit The Classic Cars International Auto Museum Of Utah, where you can see the entire transport history of the country from the carts, hidden by horses, to the latest models of machines. The collection of the museum has more than 100 antiques and specialized cars, which are a car classic. If you wish, you liked the instance may well become yours.
Much more modern to you will seem "Museum of Childhood". The Children's Museum of Utah). Perhaps the expositions of this museum will intrigue more adults than children. Robots, entertaining electronic gaming devices that can be controlled independently - all this will certainly deliver a lot of pleasures.
If you are not yet tired, you can go to the naturalistic museum, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Military Museum of Douglas, whose names speak for themselves.
Large salted lake
Salt Lake City stands on the shore of a beautiful large salt lake, which is the largest cluster of water in the state. Water Lake Utah, slightly dilute the strong concentration of salts in the salty lake thanks to the Jordan River, which is the bonding channel between the two lakes. Only in the Dead Sea of \u200b\u200bIsrael, the concentration of salts exceeds the indicators of the salt lake, due to which there is no fish in the lake, except for many salted shrimps.
One of the most popular entertainment on the lake is boating. You can hang on the waves, watch the circles over the lake of seagulls, breathe the salty aroma of the lake and enjoy the magnificent mountain landscape. In the very center of the salt lake, an antelope island is located, which is called the only piece of sushi in Utah, surrounded by a natural sandy coast. The island has become a natural habitat for buffaloes and, of course, antelope, which freely roam throughout the territory. Hiking and watching birds have become favorite classes from visitors of the island.
On the island of Antelopes you feel like an ocean coast. Screaming seagulls, salted air, sand ... But you will not be able to drown, because the water will simply keep you at the surface and extra movements with attempts to keep on the water here is absolutely nothing to do. You can simply relax, pull out the legs and lie on the water stroit with the magazine in your hands. Thanks to all these wonderful water properties in Solen Lake, it is very good to go to swim, because all people appear simply extraordinary buoyancy, though there may be problems with adaptation to swimming in simple water.
Features of education
Salt Lake City is no wonder called the university city. Parents tell children about educational opportunities, which are provided in the city, from the very childhood, thereby reinforcing in them the knowledge and the desire to receive higher education. Salt Lake City is proud of the tag of young people to the highest formation.
One of the most famous is the University of Utah (The University of Utah), founded in 1850. It not only provides high-quality higher education, but also offers many educational programs for those who have already come out of the university's walls, which is known worldwide due to its students who have made an excellent professional career.
Another educational institution is Westminster College. Graduates of other colleges often envy students who received the Westminster College diploma. College also offers the receipt of Master's Degrees. The Community and Business Colleges, which offer a two-year and cheaper education, are also very popular with students. Salt Lake Community College is also often used as an intermediate stage and preparation for admission to the university.

In other words, residents celebrate the day of the city and do it from all soul. From the morning, the Liberty Park is held a grand march of all educational institutions and organizations of the city, which invent various compositions with huge figures and bright decorations. All these "works of art and fantasy" slowly float along the main alley of the park, under the root of the orchestra and the rapid applause of a huge number of spectators. It is also curious to also see the demonstration speech of policemen on motorcycles and the car parade of the city leaders. The whole holiday ends only under the evening with a concert and enchanting salute.
Residents of Salt Lake City are very proud of their city. This was especially noticeable after the White Olympiad, which glorified the capital of Utah to the whole world. Several years ago, when ordinary people have not yet thought about the 2002 Olympics, when many did not know about the existence of the city of Soleny Lake, the Americans have already extended posters and posters about the future Winter Olympics throughout the city, the souvenir shops selling Olympic symbolism were opened Mountain trails, springboards, prepared stadiums and sports grounds, and flights of the Airlines delta showed their passengers about the upcoming event. Now this is no longer the modest Salt Lake City, which was before, but the transformed capital of the "White" Olympiad of 2002. And this is another reason to visit this amazing place, and then tell everyone friends and loved ones that you were in this city of Soleny Lake.
