Trivia: Which African lake has distinctive red water?
Lake Victoria
Lake Turkana
Lake Chad
Lake Natron
The correct answer is Lake Natron
So why is this answer correct? : The red waters of Lake Natron in Tanzania are caused by a type of algae. The lake’s waters are highly alkaline (up to 10.5 on the pH scale) and are very caustic, capable of burning skin upon contact. Incredibly, some species have adapted to the harsh environment, and Lake Natron is a popular breeding ground for the lesser flamingo.
