Question

Who knows the second largest lake in the world?

Answer 1

The world's second largest lake, and the world's largest freshwater lake is North America's Lake Superior at 31,700 mi2 (82,103 km2).

World's Largest Lake (by surface area):

The salty Caspian Sea has the greatest surface area of any lake at 143,200 square miles (370,886 square kilometers). Lake Superior, on the United States/Canada border is the freshwater lake with the greatest surface area at 31,700 square miles (82,103 square kilometers).

World's Largest Lake (by volume):

The salty Caspian Sea is the world's largest land-locked body of water. It contains approximately 18,900 cubic miles of water (78,700 cubic kilometers).

Lake Baikal is the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume. It contains about 5521 cubic miles of water (23,000 cubic kilometers), or approximately 20% of Earth's fresh surface water. This is a volume of water approximately equivalent to all five of the North American Great Lakes combined.

Answer 2

Superior

Answer 3

Lake Victoria  ---  Lake Victoria is 68,800 square kilometres (26,560 square miles) in size, making it the continent's largest lake, the largest tropical lake in the world, and the second largest fresh water lake in the world in terms of surface area.

Being relatively shallow for its size, with a maximum depth of 84 m (276 ft) and a mean depth of 40 m (131 ft), Lake Victoria ranks as the seventh largest freshwater lake by volume

Answer 7

According to wikipedia, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron form one hydrological unit; their surfaces are at the same elevation, and the water flows in either direction in the channel separating them, which would make them the second largest lake in the world.  If you don't want to take Wikipedia's answer as authoritative, then it's Lake Superior at number two, followed by Lake Victoria.
