Why is lake water boiling? Because of the volcano, there is a volcano. When the volcano is active, lava flows into the lake boiled lake water.

Even stranger, the bottom of the reservoir is full of biogas. It is estimated that there are over 300 billion cubic meters of gas, equivalent to 600 million tons of oil. Two lakeside countries are Zaire and Rwanda, which are exploiting this gas as fuel to run an explosive machine.

People ask: Where is Bioga? This is because the Lake Kivu bottom contains a lot of biological corpses, rich organic matter, low oxygen content, enabling anaerobic microorganisms to work hard to produce bioga, long time becoming a treasure. precious energy.
