A Upvoted by TikTok user The question has become a matter of curiosity for many people.

But don’t worry, so is this problem There is a scientific explanation! So let’s take you down slowly.

First of all, it is useful to watch the video in question:

First, let’s say that some lake waters actually seep into the ground.

We often don’t realize it because the water in the lake is quickly replenished from sources such as rain.

However, whether water leaks or how quickly it leaks depends on the permeability of the material at the bottom of the lake. whether it can pass through water or not related to.

Imagine pouring water on a piece of stone. This; It doesn’t come out the other side of the stone, it flows over it.

For lakes with rocky bottoms This is exactly the situation. If the lake bottom is rocky and there is little space between it, water cannot pass through it easily.

Even in cases where there are holes and lakes; by accumulating sediments such as sand, silt and clay fills these gaps.

Now we can further strengthen the issue with a scientist’s explanation.

Dr. from Washington State University Joan Wu, “The lake bottom evolves and changes over the years. Materials are deposited and… “fine particles fill large voids.” say.

happy We call the natural process the water cycle Because of this, water lost through evaporation should theoretically be replaced as rain.

However A study published last yearshows that more than half of the world’s great lakes have dried up.

Researchers, 56% of this decrease is due to human use and states that this is caused by climate change, which increases water loss through evaporation.
