Increasing acidity
Burning fossil fuels releases sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which can combine with water vapor to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These acids can then be deposited in lakes through rainfall, causing acidification.
Lakes can vary in their oxygen content, but generally, well-mixed lakes tend to have higher oxygen levels throughout, while stagnant or polluted lakes may have lower oxygen levels. The oxygen content in a lake can also be influenced by factors such as temperature, depth, and the presence of plant and animal life.
Acid rain forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels mix with rainwater. When this acidic rainwater falls into lakes, it lowers the pH of the water, making it more acidic. This can harm aquatic life in the lake by disrupting their delicate pH balance.
Yes, lakes of methane and ethane have been found on Saturn's moon Titan. These lakes are primarily made up of liquid hydrocarbons due to the extremely cold temperatures on Titan's surface. The presence of such lakes makes Titan the only other known celestial body in our solar system with stable liquid bodies on its surface besides Earth.
Acid rain can lower the pH of water bodies, making them more acidic. This can harm aquatic life like fish, plants, and algae by damaging their gills, affecting reproduction, and disrupting the food chain. It can also leach toxic metals from soils into water, further impacting aquatic organisms.
increasing acidity
Pollution due to coal burning affects lakes by releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can lead to acid rain and acidification of the lake water. This lowers the pH of the water, harming aquatic life such as fish and other organisms. Additionally, heavy metals like mercury can also be released from coal burning, accumulating in the lake sediments and posing a threat to the ecosystem.
I honesty think lakes affect people- nothing. They give us water to drink- to take a bath - to- to- swim in.
Tides do not directly affect lakes because tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. Lakes are not large enough to experience significant tidal effects.
Rivers lakes or mountains affect the way people live in the modern US?
The retreating glaciers dug deep into the earth carving the Great Lakes.
they invade the habitat of other organisms living there and they start to overtake the lakes which decreases the biodiversity in the great lakes.

yes. its acid you dickweed
I the water goes into one of our lakes then yes it can affect our drinking water
Yes, go to Chicago, IL if you don't belive me.
Without rivers and or lakes, life cannot be supported. Without water, there would be absolutely no life on Earth.
