When Lakes Explode!
Limnic Eruption Diagram
Limnic Eruption
A limnic eruption, also known as lake overturn, is a type of natural disaster that occurs when a large amount of carbon dioxide erupts from the bottom of a deep lake. It explodes upward when it reaches the top, and then goes down the slopes, suffocating humans, livestock, wildlife, and just about everything in it’s path.
