The correct answer is Lake Victoria.
Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world, after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is located in East Africa, with its northern and eastern shores forming part of Tanzania, its southern and western shores forming part of Uganda and Kenya, and its northwestern corner forming part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Lake Victoria is a rift valley lake, formed by the East African Rift. It is bordered by the Western Rift Valley to the west and the Eastern Rift Valley to the east. The lake is about 3,200 kilometers (2,000 mi) long and 2,700 kilometers (1,700 mi) wide, with a surface area of 69,484 square kilometers (26,828 sq mi). It is the deepest lake in Africa, with a maximum depth of 840 meters (2,760 ft).
Lake Victoria is a major source of water for the Nile River. It is also a major source of fish for the region. The lake is home to over 500 species of fish, including the Nile perch, which is the largest freshwater fish in the world.
Lake Victoria is a popular tourist destination. The lake is home to a number of national parks, including Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The lake is also home to a number of islands, including the Ssese Islands in Uganda.
Lake Victoria is facing a number of environmental challenges, including pollution, overfishing, and climate change. Pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial waste is a major problem. Overfishing has led to a decline in the number of fish species in the lake. Climate change is causing the lake to become warmer and more acidic, which is harming the lake’s ecosystem.
Despite these challenges, Lake Victoria is a vital resource for the region. It is a major source of water, fish, and tourism. The lake is also an important part of the region’s culture and history.
