Question 185 Deck General
70% to passOn which of the Great Lakes would shore ice be the most pronounced?
A
Lake Erie
B
Lake Superior
C
Lake Huron
D
Lake Michigan
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Lake Superior. Lake Superior is the largest and northernmost of the Great Lakes, and it is known for its severe winter weather conditions, including the formation of extensive shore ice. The cold temperatures and high winds in this region create ideal conditions for the development of thick, persistent shore ice, which can pose significant navigational hazards for vessels. In contrast, the other Great Lakes (Erie, Huron, and Michigan) generally experience less severe winter weather, resulting in less pronounced shore ice formation.
