What is the area of the Great Lakes?
The 5 Great lakes: -
Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario hold 21% of the world's surface fresh water and form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth.
Their combined total surface area is 208,610 km2 (80,545 sq mi), and their combined total volume is 22,560 km3 (5,412 cu mi).
Their origins are glacial.
Which of the five Great Lakes is the largest freshwater lake in the world?
Lake Superior.
The five Great Lakes in order from the largest to the smallest Surface area are:
- Lake Superior : 31,700 sq mi (82,000 km2)
- Lake Huron : 23,010 sq mi (59,600 km2)
- Lake Michigan : 22,400 sq mi (58,000 km2)
- Lake Erie : 9,940 sq mi (25,700 km2)
- Lake Ontario : 7,540 sq mi (19,500 km2)
And according to Water volume
- Lake Superior : 2,900 cu mi (12,000 km3)
- Lake Michigan : 1,180 cu mi (4,900 km3)
- Lake Huron : 849 cu mi (3,540 km3)
- Lake Ontario : 393 cu mi (1,640 km3)
- Lake Erie : 116 cu mi (480 km3)
What Great Lake is in the Northeast region?
Lake Ontario and lake Erie is the Great Lakes located in the Northeast.
How big are each of the five Great Lakes?
The Great Lakes -- Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario -- and their connecting channels form the largest fresh surface water system on earth. If you stood on the moon, you could see the lakes and recognize the familiar wolf head shape of Lake Superior, or the mitten bounded by lakes Michigan, Huron and Erie. Covering more than 94,000 square miles and draining more than twice as much land, these Freshwater Seas hold an estimated 6 quadrillion gallons of water, about one-fifth of the world's fresh surface water supply and nine-tenths of the U.S. supply. Spread evenly across the contiguous 48 states, the lakes' water would be about 9.5 feet deep.
The channels that connect the Great Lakes are an important part of the system. The St. Marys River is the northernmost of these, a 60-mile waterway flowing from Lake Superior down to Lake Huron. At the St. Marys rapids, the Soo Locks bypass the rough waters, providing safe transport for ships. The St. Clair and Detroit rivers, and Lake St. Clair between them, form an 89-mile long channel connecting Lake Huron with Lake Erie. The 35-mile Niagara River links lakes Erie and Ontario, and sends approximately 50,000 to 100,000 cubic feet of water per second over Niagara Falls; the manmade Welland Canal also links the two lakes, providing a detour around the falls. From Lake Ontario, the water from the Great Lakes flows through the St. Lawrence River all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 miles away.
This system greatly affects our way of life, as well as all aspects of the natural environment, from weather and climate, to wildlife and habitat. Yet for all their size and power, the Great Lakes are fragile. In the past, this fragile nature wasn't recognized, and the lakes were mistreated for economic gain, placing the ecosystem under tremendous stress from our activities. Today, we understand that our health and our children's inheritance depend on our collective efforts to wisely manage our complex ecosystem.
