Lake Superior

Lake Superior is usually around 40 degrees.

The shore line is not a well defined concept - eg how far up you go along an inflow waterway before you are no longer in the lake. Subject to that sort of uncertainty, the shoreline is 2780 kilometres and another 1600 km for the shores of islands in the lake.

Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, is the world's deepest fresh water lake at 1,638 metres deep. It is 636 km long and is the world's sixth largest lake and 1,181 metres of it is below sea level. It contains 20% of the world's fresh water which is so clear that divers suffer from vertigo. Based on sediment at the bottom, it is also the world's oldest lake at 25 million years, based on an ancient fault, the Olkhon Crevice. 2,000 species of plant and animal life have been identified in Lake Baikal, 75% of which appears nowhere else in the world.

Lake Superior is one of the Great Lakes, all of which are fresh water, not salty. With rare exceptions like the Great Salt Lake, a lake is always a body of fresh water while a body of salt water is called a Sea or Ocean.

its the bigest lake

Because it is the largest of the great lakes

According to Julius Wolff's authoritative The Shipwrecks of Lake Superior the first shipwreck recorded was that of the Invincible in a storm 1816 near Whitefish Point (Wolff, 11). The Invincible was employed in the fur trade by the Northwest Company, but was by no means the first European-style vessel on the Lakes. However, it seems to me that I recall reading in Grace Lee Nute's book on Lake Superior that an explorer and prospector named La Ronde had built a couple of small sailing vessels in the 1730s and that one of them sank near the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin in either the late 1730s or 40s, which would make that seventy or eighty years older that the Invincible.I hope that this helps.

The largest lake sturgeon ever caught in Lake Superior was in 1922 by Lapointe Fisheries in Batchewana Bay. It was seven feet, eleven inches long and weighed 310 pounds.

Yes, but better: "Are Lake Huron, Lake Michjgan, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and Lake Superior the names of the The Great Lakes?" I was looking for a definition of 'laked', which I had guessed and found valid in a game Jamble (like Scrabble) on IYT. The misspelling in this entry distracted me from the real definitions.

I Belive it is lake superior... Lake superior is 31,820 Sqare Miles, Lake Erie is 9,940 square Miles.

Lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior are all freshwater lakes.

The 5 Great Lakes are the following:

Lake Huron

Lake Ontario

Lake Michigan

Lake Erie

and Lake Superior.

100ft waves where recorded in 1947 (unverified - gpronger 20110514)

From gpronger:

I ended up here after Googling the question. However, I am unable to verify 100 foot. The problem would be that the size of a wave is controlled by the size of the body of water (fetch) as is the period (distance between waves).

On Lake Michigan we can have a seich; which is similar to a tsunami but not due to a earthquake or underwater landslide but weather.

Waves, as best I can tell can get to around 20 feet with Lake Superior at 30 feet.

At it's deepest point lake superior is 1302 ft. deep.

Rocks, dead plants, dirt, soil, pebbles, water and so on. Basically anything that is dead or nonliving.
