Everything about Lake Michigan-huron totally explained
Lake Michigan-Huron is a designation sometimes given to the body of water (part of the North American
Great Lakes) customarily referred to as two separate lakes:
Lake Michigan and
Lake Huron. Hydrologically, however, they're a single body of water: They lie at the same surface elevation,, and the flow between them through the
Straits of Mackinac—which are wide and deep—sometimes reverses from eastward to westward. If designated as a single entity, Lake Michigan-Huron would be the largest of the Great Lakes, and indeed the largest lake in the world, in terms of surface area (though smaller than the
Caspian Sea).
Lake Superior still surpasses Michigan-Huron in terms of overall water volume, containing of water compared with Michigan-Huron's, which makes Lake Michigan-Huron the fourth largest freshwater lake by volume in the world (the first and second being
Lake Baikal and
Lake Tanganyika).
There were earlier variations of the lake during the last
ice age:
- Lake Chicago - southern tip of the current Lake Michigan
- Lake Stanley - northern tip of the current Lake Michigan during the glacial retreat
