Question

Anyone know anything about Lake Eyre in Australia??? EASY TEN POINTS!!!!!!?

Answer 1

The lake was named after Edward Eyre who was the first European to sight it in 1840. The lake is located in the deserts of central Australia, in northern South Australia. Even in the dry season there is usually some water remaining in Lake Eyre, usually collecting in a number of smaller sub-lakes on the playa.

During the rainy season the rivers from the northeast flow towards the lake through the Channel Country. The amount of water from the monsoon determines whether water will reach the lake and if it does, how deep the lake will get. In strong La Niña years the lake can fill. Since 1885 this has occurred in 1886/1887, 1889/1890, 1916/1917, 1950, 1955, 1974 - 1976, with the highest flood of 6m in 1974. Local rain can also fill Lake Eyre to 3-4m as occurred in 1984 and 1989. Wave built shingle terraces on the shore suggest that during the Medieval Warm Period and centuries immediately prior Lake Eyre possibly held permanent water at levels above those of 1974. Torrential rain in January 2007 took about six weeks to reach the lake but put only a small amount of water into it.

Typically a 5 ft flood occurs every three years, a 13 ft flood every decade, and a fill or near fill four times a century. The water in the lake soon evaporates with a minor and medium flood drying by the end of the following summer.

Answer 6

Lake Eyre is famous for being the saltiest lake in Australia and it only fills up every century. It is on the border of south Australia.

Lake Eyre was discovered by Edward John Eyre in 1839. Edward John Eyre was a pioneer who took sheep from Sydney to Adelaide. In 1839 he explored the desert and found Lake Eyre.

The lake protects an important desert wilderness. It has only been full six times since the Europeans found it. Some Australian animals drink the salty water without being harmed.
