The Great Lakes region is located in the northernmost part of the United States and the southernmost part of Canada. There are five large lakes in this region, Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario, and apart from Michigan, the other four make up part of the border between the United States and Canada. All of these large lakes are glacial lakes, being formed from the melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age. At present, these lakes are very important for this region because they provide lot of fish, easy traveling and transport, make the climate milder. This has resulted in the building of multiple large cities on the shores, as they had all the basic things needed for economic development.
