most visited and largest lakes is none other than Gun Lake. The lakefront is home to a deep Indian history that reflects the extensive development of the surrounding area over the years.

The Great Lakes are surrounded by the northern United states, and southern Canada. Both countries own the Great Lakes except for Michigan which is only owned by United States. The Great Lakes include Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario. The Great Lakes are connected together by rivers. The Great Lakes are also connected to the Atlantic Ocean with the St. Lawrence River. During the 1970s the Great Lakes were polluted by many things. For example, oils, factory’s waste, mercury, and fertilizer

As the name suggests, this Lake Ontario is in the province of Ontario as well as the state of New York. As one of the Great Lakes, the lake provides many with fresh water (once it has been filtered).

The river is 100 miles long flowing south to Cuyahoga Falls where it then turns north until it empties into Lake Erie. Cleveland and Akron are two major cities located along the river. The Cuyahoga is known as an infant glacial river, this is because it is one of the youngest river created from the melting of the glaciers. It is estimated that the river is about

The diverse shape and topography of Michigan can be attributed to the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition throughout the area. The beautiful landscape we enjoy today began to take shape over tens of thousands of years ago under a sheet of ice. Approximately

the presence of the Great Lakes, Michigan has a story unlike any others. One very important part of Michigan’s story is how water has shaped the land making up the state. Seeing as the Great Lakes surround Michigan, it is obvious that the hydrologic system plays a great role in the water supply and the ecosystem of the Great Lakes. The hydrologic cycle includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, groundwater, transpiration and runoff, all of which keep the Great Lakes functioning year after year

bounded by five Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Michigan , Lake Superior and Lake Saint Clair. The state got its name from Lake Michigan. The state of Michigan actually consists of two peninsulas the Upper Peninsula and the Lower Peninsula. The state has thousands of smaller lakes as well.

short, us Michigan natives have grown up surrounded by water. Michigan has about 58,000 sq. miles of land and 38,000 miles of water. The majority of the water that makes up Michigan is formed from the Great Lakes: No point in Michigan is more than 6 miles away from one of the Great Lakes. It is clear that water is a big part of the composition of this state. Since water is such a big part of Michigan, I find myself very curious about what it is and what it does.
