Lacus Maracaibo
Lacus Maracaibo[1] (Hispanice Lago de Maracaibo) est magnus sinus amarus (vel aestuarium) qui ad aestum pertinet in Venetiola et quidem "transitus Maris Caribici" est.[2][3][4][5][6] Plerumque habetur lacus, pro sinu vel lacuna.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Ad Sinum Venetiolanum coniungitur per Fretum Tablazo, quod in parte septentrionali est 5.5 chiliometra latum. Impletur a multis fluminibus, quorum maximum est Catatumbo. Area est 13 210 chiliometra quadrata. Hoc corpus aquae olim erat maximus Americae Australis lacus, secundum praeterea data geologica verus lacus, abhinc annorum a 20 ad 36 milliones unus ex veterrimis telluris lacubus.[16][17]
Fulgur Catatumboense in Lacu Maracaibo plus fulgur quam alius orbis terrarum locus constanter efficit.[18][19]
