Thanks for looking
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 land to move up or down. Uplifted blocks created the Carson Range on the east and the Sierra Nevada on the west. Down-dropped blocks created the Lake Tahoe Basin in between. Some of the highest peaks of the Lake Tahoe Basin that formed during this process were Freel Peak at 10,891 ft (3,320 m), Monument Peak at 10,067 ft (3,068 m) (the present Heavenly Valley Ski Area), Pyramid Peak at 9,983 ft (3,043 m) (in the Desolation Wilderness), and Mt. Tallac at 9,735 ft (2,967 m).
Snow, rain, and streams filled the southern and lowest part of the basin, forming the ancestral Lake Tahoe. Modern Lake Tahoe was shaped and landscaped by the scouring glaciers during the Ice Age (the Great Ice Age began a million or more years ago). 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.
Lake Tahoe Facts:
- * Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United States and the
largest alpine lake in North America. - * Lake Tahoe is as long as the English Channel is wide with the width of
Tahoe being half again as wide as San Francisco Bay. - * With one dispersion of Lake Tahoe’s water, the State of California would
be completely covered to a depth of 14.5 inches. - * The Panama Canal (700 feet in width and 50 feet in depth) could be
filled by Lake Tahoe’s water and extend completely around the earth at the
equator, with enough remaining in the lake to fill another channel of the
same width and depth running from San Francisco to New York. - * An average 1,400,000 tons of water evaporates from the surface of Lake
Tahoe every 24 hours, yet this drops the lake level only one-tenth of an
inch. - * If the water that evaporates from the lake every 24 hours could be
recovered, it would supply the daily requirements of a population of
3,500,000 people. - * Lake Tahoe’s water is 99.9% pure. The water is so clear that a 10 inch
white dinner plate would be visible at 75 feet below the surface. - * There are 63 tributaries draining into Lake Tahoe with only one outlet
at the Truckee River. - * Lake Tahoe never freezes due to the constant mass movement of water from
the bottom to the surface. In February 1989, Emerald Bay froze over for
the first time since 1952.

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). footer image. Crater Lake in Oregon is the deepest lake (1,949 ft or 594 m) in the United States. Please Note that the depth of Lake Tahoe changes every day as the lake level changes. The deepest measurement from the 1998 bathymetric survey was 1,637 ft (499 m) deep. The depth of Lake Tahoe depends on the height it is measured from; some measurements use sea level as a base reference, others use different points of reference. The appropriate reference, or datum, for Lake Tahoe’s depth is still being debated. Therefore the measured depth of a lake is only preliminary data and may change.
Lake Tahoe is about 22 mi (35 km) long and l2 mi (19 km) wide and has 72 mi (116 km) of shoreline and a surface area of 191 mi2 (495 km2). The floor of the Lake Tahoe Basin is at an elevation of about 4,580 ft (1,396 m), which is lower than the surface of the Carson Valley to the east! With an average surface elevation of 6,225 ft (1,897 m) above sea level, Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United States.
The water temperature near the surface generally cools to 40 to 50oF (4.5 to 10oC) during February and March and warms to 65 to 70oF (18 to 21oC) during August and September. Below a depth of 600 to 700 ft (183 to 213 m), the water temperature remains a constant 39oF (4.0oC).
Lake Tahoe has a water clarity of about 70 ft (21 m) deep. The clarity has reduced from greater than 100 ft (30.5m) since readings began in the late 1960’s. The last published annual average Secchi depth reading was 67.7 ft (20.6m) in 2006
