2. Upwelling and downwelling
Upwelling
transfer of cold water from depth to the surface
Most important processes
Downwelling- transfers warm surface water to
depth
Lake Baikal, located in eastern Russia, formed in the Baikal Rift of the Siberian Platform. Other crustal movements influencing lake formation include uplift of the seafloor (Caspian Sea and Aral Sea),
Taal Lake is a freshwater lake in the province of Batangas, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The lake fills Taal Caldera, a large volcanic caldera formed by very large eruptions between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago. It is the country's third largest lake after Laguna de Bay and Lake Lanao.Ijen Lake is a crater lake that is found in East Java, in Indonesia. It is a 1km wide acid lake which has a beautiful turquoise color. This is also a site for sulphur mining, as there is an active vent at the one side of the lake, which continually brings sulphur to the surface, from where it is broken into pieces and carried out of the crater in baskets. The molten, red hot, sulphur is guided out of the vent through ceramic pipes, which deposits it on the floor, where it cools, turning into a bright yellow color
