Maracaibo Talaab, northwestern Venezuela me hae, iske states Zulia, Trujillo, aur Mérida ke biich me. Jab ki Maracaibo ke commonly ek talaab bola jaae hae, lekin iske hydrological characteristics iske ek estuary nai to semi-enclosed bay bola jaae sake hae, jon Gulf of Venezuela se jurraa hae. Iske surface area 13,512 km² (5,217 sq mi) hae. Agar iske ek talaab maana jaae tab ii South America ke sab se barraa talaab hae, Lake Titicaca se bhi barraa, aur ii dunia ke sab se purana lake me se ek hae, jon 36 million saal pahile Andes Mountains me banaa rahaa.

Ii lake Gulf of Venezuela se ek patraa "spit" se jurraa hae. Isme ke paani dher naddi se aae hae, jisme se sab se barraa, Catatumbo Naddi hae. Isme dher tel aur gas hae. Ii Venezuela ke khaas tel produce kare waala jagha hae aur machchhri aur kheti ke khaas jagha bhi hae. Tel ke production ke kaaran ii jagha pe pollution ek khaas smasya hae. Iske sab bagal des ke 25% abaadi rahe hae aur ii jagha pe dher bijli chamke hae. Ii bijli ke roshni se raat ke navigate karaa jaae sake hae.

Lake Maracaibo ek basin hae jon dunia ke ek sab se puraana talaab hae. Ii 36 million saal pahile banaa rahaa jab faults collapse hoe gais jab Andes uthaa rahaa. Geological itihaas me, ii talaab me khaara paani aur mitthaa paani alternate karis hae aur ii ilaaka ke flood karis. Pichhlaa glacial period me, samundar ke level uppar hoe gais, aur Lake Maracaibo Atlantic Ocean se directly connected hae,^[1] aur kamtii garrhu mitthaa paani, jaada garrhu khaarra paani ke uppar float hoe hae, jisse nutrients talaab ke niche bath jaae hae,^[2] jisse five kilometer thick deposit ke sediment, bedrock pe hae.
