There are lakes, what seems like paradise. But sometimes there are very dangerous surprises under the surface of the lake. And the name of the danger could be carbon dioxide. Sometimes the massive number of carbon dioxide is storing in the lakes, and then some earthquake would cause the sudden releasing of this gas, what makes those lakes extremely dangerous. In Cameroon, this kind of eruption, where the carbon dioxide would be released into the air caused the death of many people. Sometimes the mass of carbon dioxide, that is stored in those lakes is very huge, and even the smallest disturbing in water can cause the eruption of the gas.


There is claiming, that some person has just thrown one stone into the water, and this disturbing would cause the massive eruption. The thing what makes some of those lakes dangerous is that they are in the hole of the ground. The walls are covering the extremely dangerous area because if the carbon dioxide would be released, the person or animal, who goes in that area would choke to death. The releasing carbon monoxide would be very unseen, but the eruption can be very powerful, and cause the deadly tsunamis in those lakes.


Sometimes the carbon dioxide is from the rotten organic material, but it can also come from the ground because of volcanic activity. And if the lake is over the crater of the volcano, the magma can suddenly face the water, and that will cause the tsunami and the lake can suddenly turn extreme hot, what would kill the swimmers. But those lakes are extremely dangerous because the eruptions can begin without warning.
