Several layers may be compacted on top of one another to a maximum depth of about 3 metres (10 feet).
A mountain-ringed alpine lake about 193 square miles (500 square km) in area, it has among the world's greatest average depth and a maximum depth of about 1,640 feet (500 metres).
It has a surface area of some 4 square miles (10 square km) and a maximum depth of about 94 feet (29 metres) and is connected to Lake Overholser, another reservoir, by a narrow canal at its southwest corner.
It is between 15 and 20 miles (20 to 30 km) wide and is some 1,000 feet (300 metres) deep in the vicinity of Bergen, reaching a maximum depth of about 2,300 feet (700 metres) in the Skagerrak.
Lake Tahoe is the largest and deepest Alpine lake in the world; it has a surface area of nearly 200 square miles and reaches a maximum depth of about 1,640 feet in its northwestern portion.
Located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains at an elevation of 320 feet (98 metres) above sea level and surrounded by low mountains including Mounts Fivemile, at 2,258 feet (688 metres), and Black, at 2,665 feet (812 metres)—the lake is of glacial origin, has a maximum depth of about 200 feet (60 metres), and is fed by mountain streams and submerged springs.
It should be mentioned that the sedimentary cover at Soultz reaches a maximum depth of about 1,400 m.
Distribution of overpressures shows a well-defined trend with depth to top of overpressures, increasing towards the central part of the field to a maximum depth of about 13,124 ft (4,000 m).
Temperatures of about 36°C to 42°C at the top and base of the Buntsandstein aquifer, respectively, were calculated in the southern part of the Alzette valley where the Buntsandstein reaches a maximum depth of about 850 m (top) and 1,100 m (base) below surface.
