Question

In Africa, the Tropic of Cancer falls across the Sahara Desert and this largest Egyptian lake. What is the name of the lake?

a) Lake Nasser
b) Lake Victoria
c) Lake Tanganyika
d) Lake Malawi

Answer 1

The largest Egyptian lake that the Tropic of Cancer crosses in Africa is Lake Nasser. It's positioned in contrast to other large African lakes such as Lake Victoria, which is further south and the source of the Nile River.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Africa, the Tropic of Cancer passes through the Sahara Desert, which is the world's largest desert. Among the great lakes present in Africa, the one that falls near the Tropic of Cancer and is also the largest lake in Egypt is Lake Nasser. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option a) Lake Nasser. Other lakes in Africa such as Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Malawi, are significantly further south and do not intersect with the Tropic of Cancer. Lake Victoria is particularly noteworthy as it is the source of the Nile River and is the second-largest lake in the world in terms of surface area.
