Most lakes in Norway are acidic. One report (see attached link) showed pH ranging from about 6.5 (slightly acidic) to 4.5 (definitely acidic). This is to be expected since most of the lakes receive runoff that flows through oak and pine forests where it picks up acidity from the fallen leaves and needles. Also note that pines grow best in acidic soil so their presence is a good indicator that the soil is naturally acidic to begin with so water flowing though that soil will become acidified. Also, rain is naturally slightly acidic since it dissolves carbon dioxide in the air to form weak carbonic acid. Of course anthropogenic sources can increase acidity somewhat but the dominant source of acidification of the lakes is natural, not man-made; the winds blowing over Norway mostly come from fairly uninhabited areas like the North Atlantic, Greenland, Northern Canada, etc, so there isn't much in the way of anthropogenic sources at those latitudes.
What else can I help you with?
Where do people get clean water in Norway?
From most lakes. There is no problem drinking tap water in Norway.
Where is pH?
ph is found in oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds,and rain.
What is terrain of Norway?
It's not diverse, it has mountains and lakes.
What neutralizes lakes with low pH?
a substance with a high pH, such as baking soda.
What is the normal pH level in lakes?
7.1985 is the normal or apreciated pH level in water
Which country is home to a thousand lakes and borders with Norway?
Finland
What types of PH do lakes usually have?
Around 7.18
How does acid rain damage lakes and rivers?
It decreases the ph
in lakes, does an increase in pH mean an increase in nitrates too?
no it does no
Does acid rain affect the pH in lakes?
yes. its acid you dickweed
What happens to a lakes PH when there is limestone rock in the lake?
The pH level will go up because of the acid in the limestone bedrock.
Why is powdered limestone sometimes deliberately added to lakes in countries like Norway and Sweden?
Powdered limestone is added to lakes in Norway and Sweden as a restoration technique to combat acidification caused by acid rain. Limestone acts as a buffer, neutralizing the acidity in the water and improving the pH levels to support aquatic life. This helps to restore the ecological balance of the lake and promote biodiversity.
