Lake Tanganyika

Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake. It is the second most established freshwater lake on the planet, the second biggest by volume, and the second most profound, in all cases after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is the world's longest freshwater lake. The lake is partitioned among four nations – Tanzania, Democratic Republic of the Congo DRC, Burundi, and Zambia, with Tanzania 46% and DRC 40% having most of the lake. The water streams into the Congo River framework and eventually into the Atlantic Ocean. The name 'Tanganyika' evidently alludes to 'the considerable lake spreading out like a plain', or 'plain-like lake' ".

The lake has an intricate history of changing stream designs, because of its high elevation, awesome profundity, moderate rate of refill and rugged area in a violently volcanic territory that has experienced atmosphere changes. Evidently it has once in a while in the past had a surge to the ocean. It has been portrayed as 'for all intents and purposes endorheic' thus. The lake's association with the ocean is reliant on a high water level enabling water to flood out of the lake through the Lukunga into the Congo. The lake may likewise have now and again had diverse inflows and surges: internal streams from a higher Lake Rukwa, access to Lake Malawi and a leave course to the Nile have all been proposed to have existed sooner or later in the lake's history.
