The Great Lakes differ in both their areas (measured in square miles) and their depths. However these two dimensions do not keep
step perfectly. For example, Lake Michigan is exceeded in depth only by Lake Superior, but it is exceeded in area by both Lakes Superior and Huron. Lake Superior is by far the largest and deepest of the Great Lakes, but Lake Ontario, which is the smallest in area, is deeper than both Lakes Huron and Erie. Lake Erie is larger than Lake Ontario but it is not only shallower than Huron; it is also shallower than Ontario. Show the order of the Great Lakes according to depth.
The order of Great Lakes according to depth is (descending order): 1. Lake Superior 2. Lake Michigan 3. Lake Ontario 4. Lake Huron 5. Lake Erie
Step-by-step explanation:
Lake Superior is by far the largest and deepest of the great Lakes. Lake Michigan is exceeded in depth only by Lake Superior, but it is exceeded in area by both Lakes Superior and Huron. Lake Ontario, which is the smallest in area, is deeper than both Lakes Huron and Erie. Lake Erie is larger than Lake Ontario but it is not only shallower than Huron; it is also shallower than Ontario. So, the order of Great Lakes according to depth is (descending order): 1. Lake Superior 2. Lake Michigan 3. Lake Ontario 4. Lake Huron 5. Lake Erie
