   THE LARGEST LAKE IN THE WORLD                                                                      
Known as the largest country in the world, Russia is home to Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world .The word Baikal means ocean.  Lake Baikal is very clear and clear, so it is easy to see through the water at a depth of about 50 meters.  There are a number of reasons why Lake Baikal is clean. Lake Baikal is a plateau lake .The silt that sinks along Lake Baikal sinks to the bottom as the plateau slowly recedes .There is no silt on Lake Baikal.  Lake Baikal's small crabs feed on the bacteria and algae that live in the lake, thus preventing the water from becoming stagnant.  Prevents water from becoming polluted and foul-smelling due to decay.  Lake Baikal is the cleanest source of water on earth.Lake Baikal, which has a very large body of water, has about 300 rivers that supply water to it, and the Angara River originates from Lake Baikal.  Lake Baikal has about one-fifth of the liquid water on Earth's surface .It is larger than the volume of the five Great Lakes.  From May to January, temperatures drop to 19 degrees Fahrenheit [19 C], and between three and four feet [3 to 4 m] of ice forms.  Lake Mike Baikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to a large ecosystem, and is home to some of the warmest waters in the world.
