Description:
A limnic eruption, or lake overturn, is a super rare natural disaster where a lake suddenly releases a huge bubble of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) from its depths. This gas cloud can suffocate wildlife, livestock, and even people nearby. It happens when volcanic activity or a landslide disturbs the deep, CO2-rich water, causing it to rapidly rise and release the gas. Recognizing an impending limnic eruption can be tricky, but signs might include unusual lake bubbling, dead fish, or a sudden change in the lake's color. And if you see it, you'd better stay away from it. <br/><br/>Preview photo credit: <br/>Dan Keck / Flickr<br/>https://www.flickr.com/photos/140641142@N05/45496271361/<br/>Animation is created by Bright Side.<br/><br/>Credit: <br/>CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/: <br/>Edmund Fitzgerald: by Greenmars, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edmund_Fitzgerald,_1971,_3_of_4_(restored;_cropped).jpg <br/>Rakshas Tal: by Axel Ebert/axelebert.net, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rakshas_Tal_06.jpg <br/>CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/: <br/>Monoun: by Prosper Mekem, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monoun.jpg<br/>LS-MetOp-B: by Sasha1250, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LS-MetOp-B.png <br/>RetbaLakeShore: by Jjm2311, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RetbaLakeShore.jpg <br/>Animation is created by Bright Side.<br/><br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com <br/><br/>Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV <br/><br/>Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz <br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Our Social Media:<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside <br/>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official<br/>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en <br/><br/>Stock materials (photos, footages and other):<br/>https://www.depositphotos.com<br/>https://www.shutterstock.com<br/>https://www.eastnews.ru<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>For more videos and articles visit:<br/>http://www.brightside.me
