    Lake Baikal (Russian: English: Lake Baikal), located in the south of Eastern Siberia, Russia, in the territory of the Republic of Buryatia and Irkutsk Oblast, between 51 ° 29 55 ° 46 north latitude and 103 ° 41 109 ° 57 east longitude, the total volume of the lake is one trillion cubic meters, the deepest depth is 1637 meters, it is the world's deepest lake, the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia, the tiger is 636 meters long, the average width is 48 kilometers, the area is 10,000 square kilometers, formed by the fault and collapse of the strata, With an altitude of 455 meters above sea level and an average depth of 730 meters, the lake is the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia and the deepest lake in the world.

    Lake Baikal was a Chinese lake during the Han Dynasty, then called Beihai, and during the Han and Wei and Jin dynasties, it was the range of activities of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. In the heyday of the Tang Empire, Lake Baikal belonged directly to the Tang Empire, and later was controlled by the Turks and Uighurs respectively. From the beginning of the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, this time it was the sphere of activity of the Mongols, and during the Qing Dynasty, it was included in the territory of the Qing Empire.

    Because the Qing Empire was still at war with the Dzungar Khanate at that time, in exchange for the neutrality of Tsarist Russia, Baikal was voluntarily abandoned to Tsarist Russia.

    During the Kangxi period, the Qing Empire and Tsarist Russia signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, which officially assigned the area of Lake Baikal to Tsarist Russia, and since then the Central Plains Dynasty and Lake Baikal have no relationship. Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and the largest freshwater reservoir on the planet, accounting for 20% of the world's freshwater.

    Lake Baikal is the largest and deepest freshwater lake in the world and is known as the "Blue Eye of Siberia". The lake shape is long and narrow, like a crescent moon, so it is also called "Moon Lake". The water of Lake Baikal is clear, stable and transparent, and it is the second most transparent in the world.

    It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996.

    Geological formations

    Like the Great Rift Valley, the Baikal Rift is one of the world's most famous rift zones in terms of regional geological structure, located in the northern part of the internal deformation zone of the Central Asian continent, and is the largest active continental rift in the Eurasian region. Along the S-shaped Paleozoic suture zone, the Baikal rift zone stretches for more than 2,000 km.

    The Baikal region is in a near-northwest tensile state as a whole, with a tensile velocity of about millimeters and a northwest-northeast tendency, and the strain at the east and west ends is greater than that in the central region, and the strain results show that the eastern Baikal crust is in a state of compression, and the compression direction is north-northwest and north-north-east.

Lakes are formed by water accumulation in land depressions, and they are relatively wide and have slow flow changes. Under the geological actions such as crustal tectonic movements, glaciation, and river scouring and silting, many depressions are formed on the surface of the earth, and water accumulates into lakes. Unlike rivers, lakes have unusually slow flow and different from seas in that they do not have direct contact with the ocean. >>>More
