  • Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario. These are the Great Lakes that make up the world's largest freshwater system. But how did they come to be? The answer lies with glacial scouring and isostatic rebound. The Niagara Escarpment is also an interesting feature.

    If true then why is the world’s largest salt mine under Lake Michigan?

      The high CO2 levels were probably due to the lack of vegetation and photosynthesis. There are other factors that can cause climate variation over thousands of years.

    • @irkhanbasc
      @irkhanbasc 19 дней назад

      There seem to have been repeated ice ages every 30k years or so for possibly a million years or more. It may be tied to the precession of the Earth’s axis of rotation which occurs at a similar frequency. The last ice age was just the most recent one. The next one isn’t due for thousands of years. During each ice age, polar ice expands and recedes. The northern half of the U.S. was under a sheet of ice that was up to a mile thick. At least, all of this is what the available scientific evidence suggests.
