What city in Michigan is by the great lakes?
Detroit It is true that Detroit is "by" the Great lakes if one means not "on" the Great lakes. Detroit is "on" the Detroit River, which along with Lake St.Clair, and the St. Clair River, connects Lake Huron, and Lake Erie, both which are Great Lakes. Interestingly, some are requesting that Lake St. Clair be designated as a Great Lake, which would be a political and definitional addition to the existing 5 Great Lakes. Other Michigan Cities "on" the Great Lakes are Port Huron which is where the St. Clair River connects with Lake Huron. Muskegan is on Lake Michigan. Marquette is on Lake Superior. Menominee is on Lake Michigan. Saginaw and Bay city are port Cities on Lake Huron. The lists go on. But Detroit is not "on" any of the Great Lakes.
What major transportation system allows ships to get to the Atlantic?

How long does it take for water to pass through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic ocean?
The retention time for each of the Great Lakes is different, and Lake Superior has the longest retention time of all the Great Lakes. When a drop of rainwater lands in Lake Superior, it takes over 200 years for it to pass through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Once it leaves the Great Lakes system, it has to travel though the St. Lawrence River on its way to the ocean.
Yes because when the snow off the mountains melts, the water drains into Crater Lake. The snow water is also the cause of why the water is so clear. The water evaporates so Crater Lake does not overflow.

Oxbow Lake Formation
An Oxbow Lake is a development of a meander, thanks to erosion and deposition. The neck/bend of the meander grows narrower and narrower and eventually the river just takes a shortcut of straight on ahead instead of going around the neck/bend. Soon the loop of the meander is sealed off altogether and it turns into an oxbow lake. In time the lake will get covered with weeds, fill with soil and will disappear.
If you doing this for work/school I suggest you use diagrams/pictures to show each stage.
