Tolbo Lake

Tolbo Lake is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Tolbo Lake rather than just read about it. In short: Tolbo Lake (Mongolian: Толбо нуур, ᠲᠣᠯᠪᠤ ᠨᠠᠭᠤᠷ. Kazakh: Толбо көлі, تولبو كولى) is a freshwater lake in Tolbo, Bayan-Ölgii Province, Mongolia.

Key takeaways

Tolbo Lake belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Tolbo Lake to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Tolbo Lake from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Tolbo Lake (Mongolian: Толбо нуур, ᠲᠣᠯᠪᠤ ᠨᠠᠭᠤᠷ. Kazakh: Толбо көлі, تولبو كولى) is a freshwater lake in Tolbo, Bayan-Ölgii Province, Mongolia. The lake is located about 50 kilometres (30 mi) south of Ölgii, on the main road between Ölgii and Khovd. Elevation is at 2,080 meters (6,820 ft) high. The shoreline is treeless with few mosquitoes and a lot of people and families camp here every summer. Most of the people go there in mid-July because the water at that time is the warmest. Tolbo lake is also known as 100 kazan(100 pots). The reason why is the lake has 100 deep places that are just like pots. And the Tolbo Lake has become the place that most people go to camp or just to swim. The lake covers 185 square kilometers of land. The lake was the site of the Battle of Tolbo Lake during the Russian Civil War where Bolsheviks and Mongolian allies defeated an army of White Russians.

Economy Fish production from the lake was carried out by Kenjidara LLC in a plant established in 2013.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tolbo Lake

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tolbo Lake claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tolbo Lake before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tolbo Lake ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tolbo Lake

In research: Tolbo Lake appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tolbo Lake in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tolbo Lake is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Important Bird Areas of Mongolia, Lake stubs, Lakes of Bayan-Ölgii Province, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tolbo Lake outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
