Aviation and Space Agency or NASA United States recently announced that the largest lakes on Earth has been warming over the last 25 years. Heating is known after the researcher Philipp Schneider and Simon Hook of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory observe the 167 lakes on Earth using satellite data.
"The researchers reported that the average rate of warming was 0.81 degrees Fahrenheit (0.45 degrees Celsius) per decade. Some lakes even heating up to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius) per decade, "NASA mention it.
Based on data collected by the researchers, the area experienced the greatest improvement is the northern region of Europe. Meanwhile, heating slightly decreased in southern Europe. The southwestern United States experienced a slightly greater warming than the Great Lakes region, while the tropical, equatorial, and southern hemisphere have a smaller warming.
Lake Ladoga in Russia and Lake Tahoe in the United States experienced the greatest increase in temperature. Lake Tahoe has increased by 1.7 degrees Celsius since 1985, while Lake Ladoga has increased by 2.2 degrees Celsius.
According to Schneider, the changes in the lake could have an impact on the sustainability of the lake ecosystem. Members of these ecosystems can be affected by changes in temperature are very small.
