Question

Which of the following parameters differentiates lakes from lagoons most appropriately?

• A. Aquatic ecosystem
• B. Salt content
• C. Water colour
• D. Size

Answer 1

The correct option is B Salt content

The salt content of a lagoon is higher in comparison to that of a lake as lagoon water is from the sea. A lake might be smaller or larger than a lagoon and the water colour of lakes and lagoons might or might not be same. Aquatic ecosystem found in lakes and lagoons may or may not be similar.
