Trivia: What is unique about Lake Balkhash?
Part saltwater, part freshwater
Highest-elevation lake in Asia
Found inside a desert
Borders six different countries
The correct answer is Part saltwater, part freshwater
So why is this answer correct? : Located in southeast Kazakhstan, Lake Balkhash features an unusual composition. A narrow strait splits the lake, and the western portion of the lake is almost entirely freshwater. The eastern portion of the lake is brackish, which means it contains a significant amount of salinity. Like the Aral Sea, Lake Balkhash is shrinking due to diversion and extraction of its water for developments in western China.
