The drunkard’s intention is not about wine, but about the landscape.” Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty felt that appreciating beautiful scenery was better than drinking rare wine. From ancient times to the present, everyone has always loved to indulge in the beautiful scenery like ink and wash landscape paintings, leaving behind Famous poems outline beautiful scenery, or express inner emotions. The beauty of beautiful scenery depends on being able to feel the beauty of the world, and being able to feel different scenery in the grace of nature. Indulge in green waters and green mountains , even if it is the same world, you can always find the beauty of different angles.

The natural scenery can shock people's hearts, and the vivid classic works can not be a grand ceremony of visual impact, but can also inspire thinking and logic. But the unfathomable nature will always have unpredictable areas, and there may be dangers behind the infinite spring, and there are many risky elements lurking. Therefore, no matter where you are, you must pay attention to your own safety factor, and you must not forget to pay attention to risk factors when you are close to nature. There is a "killing lake" in Africa, which swallowed 2,000 lives overnight. Everyone drained the water at the bottom of the river to find the person behind it.

Africa's "killing lake" swallowed 2,000 people's lives overnight, drained the water and found the "behind the scenes"

The impression of the lake on everyone is a good-looking one, and no one would have thought that a calm lake on the surface in Africa would actually cause death. Things have to be taken into account from the characteristics of the lake itself, it is a volcanic lake, named Lake Nios, located in northern Africa.

This lake is more than 200 meters deep, and its depth gives it its super-powerful water storage expertise. We all know that most parts of Africa have been in severe drought for a long time, and such large lakes have created a variety of water resources for local people.

The common people in the vicinity like this lake very much because it brings charm to their lives and allows them to deal with the trouble of lack of water.

From a distance, the river surface is very calm, and the nearby scenery is beautiful. People who are in it can always feel the quiet happiness. If you first come to this place, you will be surprised by the beautiful scenery of the lake. In general, everyone was deceived by the success of the lake's happiness phenomenon. So what kind of magic does Lake Nios have that would kill thousands of people here.

The memory of time goes back to the 1980s. One evening, people living near the lake disappeared mysteriously. The data and information were very large, reaching 2,000 people. The loss of so many people in the same time range has made the residents of the neighborhood panic, and it has been a terrifying life from beginning to end.

There are all kinds of rumours swirling around, worrying about the neighborhood. With the development of the matter, the relevant departments grasped this matter, and dispatched experts and professors to investigate the real situation of the matter and solve the concerns of the people.

After on-site investigation and observation by experts and professors, things have not made great progress, but the current situation cannot tolerate waiting any longer. Experts and professors are required by everyone in the organization to drain all the water in the lake, and finally the truth is revealed.

It turned out that on the day of the incident, a huge water column suddenly appeared in the originally calm lake. After investigation, this water column was the ultimate culprit. The water column contains a lot of carbon dioxide, compromising the safety factor of all kinds of organisms.

The geographical structure of Lake Nios is very special. It is a closed lake, surrounded by mountains, which leads to the accumulation of a lot of carbon dioxide in the lake.

After long-term accumulation, carbon dioxide has settled at the bottom of the lake without causing very much damage. But if it encounters plate movement, it will cause the eruption of carbon dioxide. It can then be seen that the water column that spewed out on the day of the incident happened to be the accumulated carbon dioxide.

Everyone lives on the earth. Like many other creatures, they rely on CO2 to survive. If they cause a certain period of hypoxia, they will eventually lead to unfortunate death. The spewed carbon dioxide causes the carbon dioxide composition in the air to increase instantaneously, and the carbon dioxide with a higher concentration value promotes the insufficient oxygen content, which eventually leads to the unfortunate death of the people.

The people by the river were not at all prepared, and many of the carbon dioxide emitted in the air became real "murderers". It has to be recognized that, in addition to the unfortunate death of the staff, many creatures by the river also died as a result.

According to accurate measurements, there are billions of tons of carbon dioxide melted in the lake, all caused by the eruption of the supervolcano, because Lake Nios was originally said to be a volcanic lake. Super volcanoes are not easy to erupt at will. Experts and professors have guessed that it may just be a volcanic eruption caused by the collision of rocks in the lake. The rocks sinking into the sea bottom seems not worth mentioning at all, and it will cause such a catastrophe. The "killing lake" is caused by the accumulation of carbon dioxide. In today's society, there are many areas as risky as Lake Nios. On this planet, we have to put the landscape in perspective, and the cave it hides.

Nature is very, very worthy of being highly valued. It is loaded with the reproduction of creatures. Humans and nature should coexist harmoniously and always maintain a state of awe. The current stage is advocating the concept of sustainable development. Of course, the resources in it are not easy to be exhausted from beginning to end. We must learn to protect nature, never trivial learning worth mentioning, and fulfill the responsibility of protecting nature.
