Lake
Tahoe
during July 2004.
Lake
Tahoe
is the second deepest
lake
in the United States
and
the tenth deepest in the world, with a maximum depth measured at 1,645 ft (501 m), average depth of 1,000 ft (305 m). The
Lake
Tahoe
Basin was formed by geologic block (normal) faulting about 2 to 3 million years ago. A geologic block fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust causing blocks of l
and
to move up or down. Snow, rain,
and
streams filled the southern
and
lowest part of the basin, forming the ancestral
Lake
Tahoe
. Modern
Lake
Tahoe
was shaped
and
l
and
scaped by the scouring glaciers during the Ice Age. Many streams flow into
Lake
Tahoe
, but the
lake
is drained only by the Truckee River, which flows northeast through Reno
and
into Pyramid
Lake
in Nevada.
