Great Lakes region

known as the Great Lakes region that we all know and love. The Great Lakes region is made up of the five great lakes, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. Channels and rivers connect these lakes, such as the St. Mary’s River, St. Claire River, Niagara River, St. Lawrence River, and Detroit River. We have about 23,000 km3 of water covering a span of about 244,000 km2. According to Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (2013), the Great Lakes contain the…

It is anchored to the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake in the Utah desert with a meters-long straight tail that winds into the counterclockwise curvatures of the spiral. The spiral was planned for months in advance and required a team of many to bring to it to conception and thousands of tons of basalt rock, boulders, salt crystals and mud. Smithson chose the location for its stark, desolate quality and also for the features of the lake, which turns bright red seasonally due to the…

effect of a marine planktivore on lake plankton, changes in Crystal Lake Plankton, effects of predation by Alosa, size and food selectively, size-efficiency hypothesis, and size of coexisting congeners; a congener is an organism that belongs to the same genus. This paper largely focused on a concept or idea rather than an actual experiment that would have actual methods and results. The effect of a marine planktivore on lake plankton…

the Sierra Nevada mountains, there is Mono Lake, which is a large but secluded lake tucked away in a depression in the ground a few miles away from the nearest road. At first glance, it may seem like just another normal lake, but it is home to a bizarre, otherworldly landscape that was created when water from fresh water springs underneath the lake mixed with the lake’s salty, alkaline water, forming deposits of limestone. Near the south shore of Mono Lake, grotesque towers of rough, porous…

The Negative Condition of the Great Lakes By: Spenser Larson I am Spenser Larson from Chicago, Illinois . I am qualified to write this editorial because I graduated for the University of Stanford in California. I majored in Environmental Science while being the top of my class. I am currently a scientist for the United States Government. I am worried about the pollution in the great lakes because animals such as baby bird have been known to have deformations because of the cancer their mothers…

what the limiting nutrient was in Loughberry Lake, as well as examine the trophic state of the lake. In order to find out what the limiting nutrient was, we performed a few different tests. We began with a secchi disk test to see the transparency of the water. Then, we took water samples that we later used to test the turbidity levels of the water after adding varying amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen. Phosphorous was the limiting nutrient in the lake, because it had the most growth even when…

Although, some seas may have greater concentration. For instance, the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake have a much higher salt concentration. First, the concentration level is raised to 25.8% NaCI after going through the condensers, which are heat transferring device that converts vapor into liquid. The reason for the conversion is to later be…
