Because someone has diverted it into the Mississippi and/or removed it in containers. It is certainly not a natural cycle - happened way too fast. Sold or stolen.
I want to say yes. Lake Michigan is not Oligotrophic like Lake George in New York. It isn't Eutrophic or Hypereutrophic which are characterized by high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus and low levels of oxygen near the bottom of the lake.
No. The only large body of water bordering Illinois is Lake Michigan. Since there is no subduction zone under the lake the chances of a tsunami occurring on it are very low.
Indiana & Illinois do literally border the Ohio river along the natural low water line on the right bank & they include parts of lake Michigan within their borders as well yet it would be technically inaccurate to say they border lake Michigan even as they border each other within it
Southern Lake Michigan is warm from the end of June until early September (68F and above). Northern Lake Michigan is only warm from mid July until late August. (again 68F and above). The warmest the lake ever gets is in the low 80s (not very common) and that's only in the southern part.
Lake Superior due to its size and low levels of farming and human habitation nearby.
A stagnant lake is often referred to as a "hypereutrophic" lake, characterized by low water movement, high nutrient levels, and decreased oxygen availability. This condition can lead to excessive algal blooms and poor water quality. Alternatively, it may simply be called a "dead lake" due to its limited ecological activity.
As of October 2023, Lake Mead's water levels have significantly declined, reaching historically low levels due to prolonged drought and increased water demand from the surrounding states. The lake's water level has dropped by over 170 feet since its peak in the late 1990s. This decline has raised concerns about water supply for millions of people in the southwestern United States and has led to ongoing discussions about water management and conservation efforts.
Halite and gypsum are both evaporite minerals formed from the evaporation of water in saline environments. In Lake Erie, when conditions are right, these minerals can precipitate out of the water as the lake's salinity increases, particularly during periods of low water levels or high evaporation rates. However, the presence of halite and gypsum in Lake Erie is limited due to the lake's overall freshwater nature and its dynamic hydrology, which typically prevents the sustained high salinity levels required for significant evaporation mineral formation.
Oxygen depletion refers to a situation where there is a significant decrease in the amount of oxygen available in a given environment. This can lead to oxygen levels dropping below what is needed for normal functioning of living organisms, potentially causing harm or death.
water!!!!
Boat rental on Lake Michigan is variably priced depending on which company the individual decides to rent from. Currently, such a service can be purchased for as low as $299 for a one day rental, although that price is subject to change.
Yes, when the water table reaches the surface, it can create a lake if there is a depression or low-lying area to hold the water. The water will collect in this area, forming a lake.
