“HOMES.” As in H(uron), O(ntario), M(ichigan), E(rie) and S(uperior). The Great Lakes!
Lake Superior is the largest Great Lake.
The Great Lakes are known around the world. They form the largest reserves of fresh water worldwide. The volume of fresh water, which is “stored” in the Great Lakes, is one-fifth of the total volume of fresh water of the planet.
The Great Lakes themselves were formed at the end of the last ice age, when melting glaciers filled the region with fresh water. However, the earliest seed for the lakes was planted some 2 billion years ago, when two tectonic plates collided and formed the valley that eventually became Lake Superior.
