Nick J. Max R.  **__Welcome to the Lake Biome!__ __Location__ ** Sixty percent of the world's lakes are located in Canada. This is because of a sort of drainage system through out the country. The world's largest lake is the Caspian Sea in Asia, and the world's deepest lake is Baikal in Russia. Small lakes are more common than big lakes. So, even though the deepest and largest lakes are not in Canada, this does not mean it is more likely for lakes to form in Asia and Russia. There is no exact location, but this should give you some idea. The map below is a map of Canada because it has the world's most lakes.

**__ Climate  __**      Lakes have three layers called the epilimnion, the theremocline, and the hypolimimnion. The layers separate the different temperatures in lakes. Because lakes are located all over the world there is no exact amount of precipitation. So, there are many variations between climate, precipitation, seasons and so on.
