Holomictic lake

Holomictic lakes are lakes that have a uniform temperature and density from top to bottom at a specific time during the year, which allows the lake waters to completely mix.

Details

Holomictic lakes are non-meromictic lakes.[1]

Most lakes are holomictic; meromictic lakes are rare, although they may be less rare than commonly thought.[2]

gollark: No.
gollark: That's not really knowledge as much as some sort of emotional information though.
