The Great Lakes are major landforms in America. They are giant freshwater lakes located in the
northern region of American. In addition to their beauty, the lakes not only provide water for
consumption but also serve for transportation, recreation, power generation, and many other uses.
How were these landforms created? Well I am going to tell you all about the many different ways
people believe it was made, and the way it was made.
First I will begin with how people thought it was created with lava. About a billion years ago there
was a fracture in the earth’s crust running from what is now Oklahoma to Lake Superior. The boiling
hot magma will erupt and can harden over time and make strange geological forms, thus being the
basin of the lakes. The tiny corral

This is evidence showing why lava could not have been the reason why The Great Lakes were
formed.
Next, I will talk about how some people believed that water created The Great Lakes. When water
started to expand, due to climate change like when ice melts it makes the water expand. As the water
gets more and more big, then it started slowly moving inwards to the northern region of the United
States then the water overpowers the land. The water breaks down the land very slowly as the years
go by. Over time the land would break down and that would make what is soon to be The Great
Lakes. But this theory is incorrect because if it had been formed by water then the water would follow
cracks that were found on an island In Lake Erie. The water would have taken advantage to the cracks
because the water would have just flowed were all the cracks are. The fractures in the rock would
have indicated were the water would flow, because of this we know water could not have done it
because if the water were to follow the cracks then it would be The Great River not The Great Lakes.
The reason The Great Lakes were created by glaciers was because these giant ice glaciers
3.1 1. Minerals have a few distinguishing characteristics that differ them from other materials. One of the biggest characteristic that minerals poses is they are naturally occurring, inorganic element or compound. Another is the hardness of the mineral. Minerals also have the characteristics of very different cleavage shapes.
Experience the natural beauty of Raystown Lake. This beautiful lake is nestled within the rolling mountains of Pennsylvania. Placed betwee Altoona and Harrisburg, the lake contains more than 30 miles of navigable water. Fed by the Juniata River, it boasts of 118 miles of shoreline. From Raystown Lake houseboat rental, visitors can explore the 21,000 acres of largely undeveloped lands that surround the lake.
For decades, there has been tension between Native American fishermen and non-native fishermen over the fishing rights on Mille Lacs Lake. This tension has increased, particularly because of the sustainability and quality of Mille Lacs Lake, and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Minnesota against Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians. The Court claimed that the Chippewa Indians retained their rights to hunt and fish on ceded lands as established by the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters. Usufruct rights are rights of enjoyment to another’s property allowing the holder to generate income from the property without obtaining ownership. This right to hunt and fish on ceded lands is further protected from state regulation by the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters.
Lake Conroe is situated in the Montgomery County, Texas, United States. The lake conroe lies on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, west of Interstate 45 off of State Highway 105 in Montgomery county and Walker county. The lake conroe runs through classic East Texas Piney Woods forests. A large number of adventure seekers and history lovers come to visit lake conroe and enjoy its lifestyle.
This debris is deposited in what today looks like giant mounds of sand in comparison to the mighty size of a glacier. These mounds are moraines and they are what is left when a glacier melts. They have
Not only did the “bulldozing” of the glacier transport materials, but so did the meltwater from the glacier. When the glacier retreats, it deposits the debris it picked up. The boundaries of the Great Lakes look like low hills. These are known as moraines and are the result of glacial deposition (DNR, n.d.).
First, the history of Devils Lake starts in prehistoric times. According to OnMilwaukee, an online news system, historians believe that during prehistoric times Devils Lake is now what it is because of glacial activity. Years ago, Devils Lake was surrounded in huge mountain ranges but through weathering and erosion has created the breathtaking bluffs and the large body of water there is today. One popular theory scientist have about Devils Lake is that years ago the Wisconsin River flowed through the gorge but the water became trapped between the glaciers. Over time the water trapped between the two glaciers became the well known lake.
In the book, Inventing the Flat Earth, it says that there were Europeans in Columbus´ time that actually did believe that the earth was not
Weatherford states that most of the “great discoveries” that Columbus proved were already known. “Columbus did not prove that the world was round; educated people had known that for centuries.” Jack Weatherford believes we
Because of this The Great Mystery (Kitchi-Manitou) formed the great flood that covered the entire land that Mother Earth has in water which destroyed all living man and most of the animals. Only the central figure (Nanaboozhoo) floated on a log looking for land with few birds and animals flying and swimming around them. Nanaboozhoo allowed for the birds and other animals to come aboard their log to rest. Nanaboozhoo decided to dive into the water and grab some earth from the bottom and bring it back so they can make a new land to live on. After being underwater for a long time Nanaboozhoo surfaced with no earth.
Dennis B. Blanton describes how causing more and more freshwater is becoming brackish causing fresh water to become scarce. To be able to get drinking water, the colonists dug wells across the land. However, the wells became vulnerable to drought and salt water intrusion. He also talks about how the transition affects the water. Due to the saltwater transition, and the filth within the water, the water was the reason for many diseases.
A special path was created to move from east to west. The Creator must have known that the directions were important to create so travelers could explore the land that was made for them. Early in the story it is said that “the earth was a great island floating above
Floating about in all types of literature, there are many legends as to how the earth was created; these legends are known as creation myths. A creation myth offers answers to questions that ask how the earth was created, and explains the social customs of today as well as the workings of the natural world by telling an elaborate story. The Cherokee Indians have spread their beliefs on this topic throughout generations through oral tradition. Recent authors have taken these myths to paper to preserve history and to spread them even further around the world. “How the World Was Made” is a creation myth that not only offers an abundance of information regarding the origin of earth, but also supports the social traditions of today’s society and attempts to explain the intangible, natural workings of the world.
2.8 Main Cause of Flood According to Jabatan Penerangan Malaysia (2012), issues of flood that happen certainly had their own causes. There are many causes such as: 2.8.1 Continuous Rain Continuous rain without stopping can cause flooding. In low areas, rain water will flow into the river. River filled with water will overflow causing lowland area are flooded.
