Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |
Geneva, LakeLargest of the central European lakes, between the Alps and the Jura mountains on the Swiss-French border; area 580 sq km/225 sq mi. The main part of the lake (about 347 sq km/134 sq mi) lies in western Switzerland; the remainder is French. It is in the shape of a crescent 72 km/45 mi long and 13 km/8 mi wide; it has a maximum depth of 391 m/1,283 ft. At the upper end of the lake the River Rhône enters through a delta and leaves it at Geneva. At certain periods of the year the lake surface is subject to sudden rises and falls, probably due to differences in barometric pressure; these phenomena are known as seiches.
