There were no Great Lakes during the last Ice Age. The area in which the Great Lakes are presently located was covered by a glacier that was from one to three kilometers thick.

Which are lowlands that were eroded by glaciers and transformed into wide deep basins?

The Great Lakes in North America, including Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario, were formed by glacial erosion during the last Ice Age. These lowlands were carved out by the movement of glaciers, creating the wide and deep basins that now hold the Great Lakes.


How is the Great Salt Lake related to North American deserts?

The Great Salt Lake is a remnant of the ancient Lake Bonneville, which existed during the last ice age when the climate was wetter. As the climate became drier, Lake Bonneville shrank, leaving behind the Great Salt Lake and contributing to the desertification of surrounding regions. The lake’s high salinity and unique ecosystem are influenced by the arid conditions typical of North American deserts, where evaporation rates exceed precipitation, leading to the formation of saline bodies of water. Thus, the Great Salt Lake serves as a vital ecological feature within the desert landscape of the Great Basin.


Were was the last glacier?

There is no Last Glacier, the last ice age before the astriod that killed the dinos but 15000 years ago most of the Glaciers covered most of north america, then they started melting back, leaving the great lake and such.

Is Lake Superior a rift valley lake?

No, Lake Superior is not a rift valley lake. It is one of the Great Lakes of North America and was formed by glacial activity during the last Ice Age. Rift valley lakes are typically formed by tectonic activity, where land sinks between fault lines, which is not the case for Lake Superior. Instead, it is the result of glacial erosion and the filling of a depression with water.


How did lake Bonneville become the great salt lake?

Lake Bonneville was a massive prehistoric lake that existed during the last Ice Age, covering much of western Utah. As the climate warmed and the glaciers melted, the lake began to shrink due to increased evaporation and decreased inflow from rivers. Over time, this led to the formation of the Great Salt Lake, which is a remnant of Lake Bonneville, characterized by its high salinity and fluctuating size. Today, the Great Salt Lake's current form is a small fraction of the original Lake Bonneville.
