Which of the Great Lakes is most affected by short-term Lake level fluctuations?

A Lake Erie
B Lake Superior
C Lake Huron
D Lake Michigan
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Lake Erie. Lake Erie is the most affected by short-term lake level fluctuations among the Great Lakes. This is because Lake Erie has the shallowest average depth, making it more susceptible to changes in water levels due to factors like precipitation, runoff, and wind patterns. The other Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, and Michigan) have deeper average depths, which makes them less affected by short-term water level changes.
