Sea of Galilee
The Sea of Galilee, also Kinneret, Lake of Gennesaret, or Lake Tiberias (, Judeo-Aramaic: יַמּא דטבריא, (アラビア語:بحيرة طبريا)), is the largest freshwater lake in Israel, and it is approximately in circumference, about long, and wide. The lake has a total area of at its fullest, and a maximum depth of approximately 43 m (141 feet).〔(Data Summary: Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) )〕 At levels between and below sea level,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kinneret - General )〕 it is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake overall (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake).〔The 1996-discovered subglacial Lake Vostok challenges both records; it is estimated to be to below sea level.〕 The lake is fed partly by underground springs although its main source is the Jordan River which flows through it from north to south.
==Geography==
The Sea of Galilee is situated in northeast Israel, between the Golan Heights and the Galilee region, in the Jordan Rift Valley, the valley caused by the separation of the African and Arabian Plates. Consequently, the area is subject to earthquakes, and in the past, volcanic activity. This is evident by the abundant basalt and other igneous rocks that define the geology of the Galilee.
