Are conch shells in Lake Michigan?

Conch shells are not native to Lake Michigan, as they are typically found in warm, marine environments, particularly in the Caribbean and tropical areas. Lake Michigan is a freshwater lake, and its ecosystem does not support the habitats required for conch. While it’s possible for shells to be transported to the lake by human activities, any conch shells found there would not be part of the local fauna.

How do you know that Chicago Illinois sits on Lake Michigan?

One way is to look at a map or Atlas and locate Chicago. Then look at the big blue area to its right and note that it says "Lake Michigan" on the map. This can be confirmed by going to the City of Chicago and walking east as far as you can go and confirming that you eventually reach a very large body of water. However, the latter is not proof that said body of water is Lake Michigan.

If a wind is blowing from west to east across Lake Michigan would the waves be higher on the east or the west side?

Strong winds and winds that have an upward motion (such as tornadoes and hurricanes), tend to push the water at the surface. This water will cause a tide called a storm surge. If the wind is blowing west, the water would be higher on the west side of the lake. As to the size of the waves, there are more factors involved in waves than just wind... more wind more waves for the most part. However, after the storm surge subsided, the tidal shifts would also produce large waves on the east side of the lake as the receding water rushed back.

What is the tallest wave ever officially recorded in the ocean?

July 9, 1958: A huge landslip caused a tsunami in the fjord shaped Lituya Bay, Alaska, USA. It traveled at over 150 km/h. It was the worlds tallest recorded tsunami at 524 m (1719 ft). 1883 - Krakatoa explosive eruption The island volcano of Krakatoa in Indonesia exploded with devastating fury in 1883, blowing its underground magma chamber partly empty so that much overlying land and seabed collapsed into it. A series of large tsunami waves was generated from the collapse, some reaching a height of over 40 metres above sea level. Tsunami waves were observed throughout the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the American West Coast, South America, and even as far away as the English Channel. On the facing coasts of Java and Sumatra the sea flood went many miles inland and caused such vast loss of life that one area was never resettled but went back to the jungle and is now the Ujung Kulon nature reserve. For instance, the tsunami which hit the island of Hokkaido on July 12, 1993 created waves as much as 30 m (100 ft) tall - as high as a 10-story building. The port town of Aonae was completely surrounded by a tsunami wall, but the waves washed right over the wall and destroyed all the wood-framed structures in the area. The wall may have succeeded in slowing down and moderating the height of the tsunami but it did not prevent major destruction and loss of life. http://t14web.lanl.gov/Research/TDAC2000/mader.tsunami.00.pdf
