Lake Taupo and Lake Biwa



In New Zealand, there are many places for sightseeing. New Zealand is filled with nature. Actually more than one third of New Zealand is occupied by parks and nature reserves. Moreover in New Zealand there are many World Heritages. 10 percents of territory are placed on the World Heritage List. I am introducing lakes in New Zealand. The biggest lake is Lake Taupo. The length is about 36 kilometers. The width is about 27kilometers. The depth is about 160 meters. The perimeter of the lake is 193 kilometers. The surface area is about 616 square kilometers. This lake is located in inland and this is the best place for cruise. This lake was made by many times supervolcano. By the supervolcano very big crater came into existence and enormous water gathered. When the eruption happened the disaster had affected at Europe and China.
Next, I am introducing Lake Biwa in Japan. The perimeter of the lake is 241 kilometers. The surface area is about 670 square kilometers. Therefore Lake Biwa is larger a little than Lake Taupo. Moreover there is difficulty between the histories of Lake Biwa and Lake Taupo. Lake Biwa was made by movement of the earth'scrust.
