Great Lakes

The locks allowed large ships, carrying heavier cargoes, to sail down the St. Lawrence and enter the Great Lakes.

There are five Great Lakes in North America: Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior.

Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world.

Hydrologists are of the opinion that Lakes Michigan and Huron are one body of water.

At one time, Georgian Bay was called Lake Manitoulin and was the sixth Great Lake.

Lake Superior is generally considered the Great Lake with the least pollution. Its large size, deep waters, and relatively low population density in its surrounding areas contribute to its relatively clean status. Efforts in conservation and stricter regulations have also helped maintain its water quality over the years. However, it still faces environmental challenges, including invasive species and climate change impacts.

Lake Michigan averages 279 feet deep, and is 925 feet at its deepest point. It is approximately 118 miles wide and 307 miles long and is the only great lake located entirely in the U.S.

I hope it's the answer you've been looking for. :)

Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana border Lake Michigan.

No, an oxbow lake is not a form of a braided stream. An oxbow lake is a crescent-shaped lake formed when a meandering river creates a cutoff, leaving behind a body of water isolated from the main river channel. In contrast, a braided stream consists of multiple interwoven channels that split and merge around sediment bars, often found in places with high sediment load and variable flow. Thus, the two are distinct features with different formation processes.

In the Great Lakes region, the state that does not border a Great Lake is Michigan. While Michigan has coastlines on four of the five Great Lakes, it is the only state that is divided by the lakes, and its Upper Peninsula does not directly border any lakes. Other states like Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin do border at least one of the Great Lakes.

Michigan is the only state that touches four of the Great Lakes: Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie. It has the longest shoreline of any state in the U.S. due to its unique geography, which includes two peninsulas. This extensive access to the Great Lakes contributes to Michigan's rich maritime culture and economy.

The southern border of Ontario touches the Great Lakes, which include Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. These lakes form a significant part of the region's geography and play a crucial role in trade, transportation, and recreation. The Great Lakes also contribute to the ecosystem and climate of Ontario.
