Question

2. What causes stratification of lakes?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The special density distribution due to water temperature leads to thermal stratification in lakes, where a relatively stable, warm layer is found near the surface and colder layers in deep waters. In between there is a layer with a rapid water temperature decrease. It is called the metalimnion.
