4. The Global Distribution Pattern

Pink lakes follow particular geological and climatic trends; they are not haphazardly distributed over the world. Mostly found in places with precise geological formations, significant evaporation rates, and enough salt supplies are these unusual water bodies. Except for Antarctica, they show up on every continent and are particularly concentrated in Australia, Africa, and South America. Pink lake distribution offers important new perspectives on Earth's geological development and past climate trends. Many of these lakes have been found to lie in areas historically connected to ancient seas, implying their creation is related to prehistory maritime settings.
