The Melting of Glaciers
As glaciers slowly move under the influence of gravity, they erode the landscape , leaving deep basins and valleys. The largest glacial lakes are the Great Lakes
Caused the formation of fjords, Created thousands of lakes, Left the soil rocky.
Glacers over the land near Michigan and Ontario that Melted over time creating these massive lakes.
Glaciation played a crucial role in the formation of the Great Lakes during the last Ice Age, around 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. As massive glaciers advanced and retreated, they carved out deep basins in the Earth's crust. Melting glaciers filled these basins with water, creating the Great Lakes we see today. This process also shaped the surrounding landscapes, contributing to the lakes' current size and geography.
The Great Lakes do not have tides because they are not connected to the ocean. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans, but the Great Lakes are freshwater bodies surrounded by land, so they do not experience the same tidal forces as the oceans.

Most lakes are too small for the effect to be great or, if any at all. Tides are not always caused by the gravitational pull pf the moon and have no effect on small bodies of water, such as lakes. Even the Great Lakes tides are less than 5 centimeters in height
Endangered Species
The Great Storm of 1975 took place on the Great Lakes in North America. It was a severe storm that caused widespread damage and loss of life along the coastlines of Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron.
The convergence of two major storm fronts, fueled by the lakes' relatively warm waters-a seasonal process called a "November gale".
