Answer 5

Great Lakes, group of five large freshwater lakes in central North America, interconnected by natural and artificial channels. From west to east they are Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. Lake Michigan lies entirely within the United States; the others form part of the border between the United States and Canada. The combined surface area of the lakes is 244,100 sq km (94,250 sq mi). Together the lakes drain a total of about 750,000 sq km (about 290,000 sq mi) in Canada and the United States. The primary outlet of the system is the St. Lawrence River; a portion is diverted from Lake Michigan to the Chicago River. The lakes are bordered by the Canadian province of Ontario and by eight U.S. states: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

The Great Lakes are a natural resource of tremendous significance in North America, serving as the focus of the industrial heartland of the continent. Together they hold about 20 percent of the world’s fresh surface water. Four large cities in North America (Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, and Cleveland) lie on the shores of the Great Lakes system and owe much of their wealth to commerce attracted to the lakes. The lakes also form an important recreational resource with about 17,000 km (about 10,500 mi) of shoreline, rich sport fisheries, and numerous beaches and marinas.

Lake Superior, the largest in area of the Great Lakes at 82,100 sq km (31,700 sq mi), is the largest freshwater lake in the world. Of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior is the highest above sea level, at 183 m (600 ft), the farthest north, and the coldest. Its outlet is the Saint Marys River, which enters Lake Huron after falling about 7 m (about 21 ft) over a series of rapids between the twin cities of Sault Sainte Marie, in Ontario and Michigan.

Lake elevations decrease to the south and east. Lake Huron and Lake Michigan lie at the same elevation, 176 m (577 ft), separated by the Straits of Mackinac, where water flows from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. Huron is the larger of the two in area, at 59,600 sq km (23,000 sq mi); Michigan is deeper, 85 m (279 ft) on average, and contains more water. Both Michigan and Huron have numerous islands, the largest of which are contained in the Manitoulin Islands chain in Lake Huron. At its southern end, Lake Huron drains into the Saint Clair River, which falls about 3 m (about 9 ft) between Lake Huron and the small, shallow basin of Lake Saint Clair.
