死亡湖盆是一个粘土质的湖盆,也被称作盐湖盆,位于纳米比亚的诺克路福公园内。死亡湖盆周围是世界上最高的沙丘,这些沙丘有的高达300米,其基底均为砂岩质基底。这个粘土质湖盆是雨后形成的,当卡斯卡波河洪水泛滥的时候,一些季节性的浅水池就形成了,充沛的水源滋养了骆驼刺的生长。但随着气候的变化,沙丘蚕食湖盆,阻挡了河水的注入。由于缺乏足够的水源,骆驼刺纷纷死去。只有少数几种植物存活下来,比如猪毛 Death Lake is a clay lake, also known as the Salt Lake Basin, located in Namibia Fu Lu Park in Namibia. The dead lake is surrounded by the highest sand dunes in the world. Some of these dunes are as tall as 300 meters and have a sandstone base. The clay lake basin was formed after the rain. When the Cascabove River was flooded, some seasonal shallow pools formed, and abundant water nourished the growth of camel thorn. However, as the climate changes, dunes erode the lake basin, blocking the water injection. Due to the lack of adequate water, camel thorns have died. Only a few plants survive, such as pig hair
