An open lake is a lake where water constantly flows out under almost all climatic circumstances. Because water does not remain in an open lake for any length of time, open lakes are usually fresh water: dissolved solids do not accumulate. Open lakes form in areas where precipitation is greater than evaporation. Because most of the world's water is found in areas of highly effective rainfall, most lakes are open lakes whose water eventually reaches the sea. For instance, the Great Lakes' water flows into the St. Lawrence River and eventually the Atlantic Ocean.

In a closed lake (see endorheic drainage), no water flows out, and water which is not evaporated will remain in a closed lake indefinitely. This means that closed lakes are usually saline, though this salinity varies greatly from around three parts per thousand for most of the Caspian Sea to as much as 400 parts per thousand for the Dead Sea. Only the less salty closed lakes are able to sustain life, and it is completely different from that in rivers or freshwater open lakes. Closed lakes typically form in areas where evaporation is greater than rainfall, although most closed lakes actually obtain their water from a region with much higher precipitation than the area around the lake itself, which is often a depression of some sort.

Hope this helps :)

Step2247 [10]

1. Atlantic

The Amazon river eventually meets the Atlantic Ocean, releasing up to 300 000 square meters per second during the rainy season.

The turbulent Atlantic is directly dumped with freshwater from the Amazon river, making the salinity hundred miles out to sea lower.

2. Marañon (and Ucayali)

The rivers Morona, Pastaza, Nucuray, Urituyacu, Chambira, Tigre, Nanay, Napo, Huallaga, and Ucayali are examples of river systems in Peru that comprise the Marañon River. The Marañon river runs 1000 miles and merges with Ucayali to form the Amazon river.

3. Pará Óbidos

Pará Óbidos is municipality at the swiftest and narrowest part of the Amazon River. It is located 400 miles from the sea, rushing into it at 4 – 5 miles per hour.. It streams single streambed, over 200 feet deep with a width of 1 mile.

4. Brazil

The Lower Amazon, stretching 600 miles from the river’s mouth to the ocean, is located in Brazil. It was the Brazilians that referred the convergence of streams the Amazon River “Meeting of Waters”. Approximately 60% of the river’s basin can be found in Brazil. Two-thirds of the whole Amazon River is part of the country.

5. Peru

The Amazon River’s waters originate from the Andes Mountains and flows through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. 60% of the country is comprised of the Peruvian Amazonia. Peruvian Amazonia is the rainforest within Peru’s borders.
