Are any of the Great Lakes salt water?
Not all "great" lakes are salt water. In fact, the Great Lakes on eastern North America and the separate Great Lakes of East Africa are freshwater. The Great Lakes of North America are Lake Superior (the world's largest lake), Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and Lake Huron. The Great Lakes of Africa include Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika.
In Asia, the Aral Sea (actually a large lake), as well as the Caspian Sea (another lake, containing the most water of any lake on Earth), are both salty. There is also another lake, Lake Balkhash, which is fresh in the western half and salty in the eastern half (this is made possible because it is long and narrow). Lake Baikal, also in Asia, is freshwater, and the second largest lake on Earth. It contains 20% of the world's freshwater (most is in glaciers and icecaps).
