Lake Victoria

Max width 160 miles

In eastern Tansania sharing a border with Kenya and Uganda

Like any lake they fish

its preety scary I'm also very nervous (terrified) of high mountain roads. My husband and I chanced upon the Kicking Horse Pass on a road trip recently, never having taken that route before. I was very upset by the ordeal and wouldn't soon do it again. However, it is over quickly and there have been significant improvements to the road since I was there.

Temperature affects how much solute a solvent can dissolve. Most minerals are more soluble in warmer water than colder water. Therefore, because Lake Victoria is located in a warmer climate than Lake Erie, it is able to dissolve more minerals.

Lake Victoria is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including various species of fish such as the Nile perch, tilapia, and hundreds of endemic cichlids. The lake also supports aquatic birds like pelicans, herons, and kingfishers. Additionally, reptiles such as crocodiles and numerous amphibians inhabit the area, along with mammals such as hippos and various species of water-dwelling animals. The rich biodiversity makes Lake Victoria a crucial ecosystem for both wildlife and local communities.

Lake Victoria itself does not have a population, as it is a large freshwater lake bordered by three countries: Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. However, the lake is surrounded by numerous communities and cities, with millions of people living in its basin. The population around Lake Victoria is estimated to be over 30 million, relying on the lake for fishing, agriculture, and transportation.

The introduction of the Nile Perch into Lake Victoria has led to significant ecological disruptions, primarily by preying on native fish species, which has contributed to a drastic decline in biodiversity. This invasive species has altered the lake's food web and has negatively impacted local fishing communities that rely on native fish for their livelihoods. Additionally, the Nile Perch's dominance has led to overfishing, further exacerbating the decline of local fish populations and threatening the lake's overall health.

Lake Victoria is bordered by three countries: Uganda to the north, Kenya to the east, and Tanzania to the south. It is the largest lake in Africa and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. The lake's shores are home to various towns and cities, playing a vital role in the livelihoods of millions of people in the region.

Lake Victoria is situated at an elevation of about 1,134 meters (3,720 feet) above sea level, while the Mediterranean Sea lies at sea level (0 meters). This significant elevation difference means that the Nile River flows downhill from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea, following a generally northward course through various landscapes. The gradient created by this elevation change is a key factor in the river's flow and the ecosystems it supports.

Lake Victoria is located in East Africa and is bordered by three countries: Uganda to the north, Kenya to the east, and Tanzania to the south. It is the largest lake in Africa by area and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. The lake is situated near the equator and is a vital resource for the surrounding communities, providing fishing, transportation, and water supply.

It occupies a shallow depression in the East African Plateau between two arms of the Great Rift Valley

The River Nile.

One Lake Victoria is in the middle of Africa and there is no ocean within hundreds of miles of it. There are two in Australia.

One is in New South Wales, this is close to the coast and flows in to the Tasmanian Sea.

The other is on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, which is one of the Gippsland Lakes and also flows in to the Tasmanian Sea.

The last one is on the island of Newfoundland, Canada which empties in to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence which is part of the north Atlantic Ocean.
