Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:The African Great Lakes include Lake Victoria, Lake Malawi, and Lake Tanganyika. Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest lake, and the second-largest freshwater lake in the world. The Nile River begins here, and its waters are shallow, making it susceptible to climate change and shrinking. Lake Tanganyika is the world’s longest lake.
