Answer:
The Great Lakes are located near the border between the United States and Canada. The total area of the lakes is 244,106 km².
The land around the lakes is rich in minerals such as iron ore, nickel, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver and asbestos. The lakes are of great importance for the transport of coal. The lakes were carved out by the ice sheet that covered most of the Northern Hemisphere during the last glacial period. In winter, the surface of the Great Lakes creates the Lake Effect, and the resulting Snow Belt stretches across five states.
The three stages of cyclone formation are the formative stage, mture stage and the dissipation stage. The formative stage involves the rising of the air creating an area of low pressure. The mature stage includes the increasing of the speed of the wind until such time that the cyclone starts to decrease in energy during the dissipation stage
Answer:
intrusive igneous rock
Explanation:
A rock that lies perpendicular to the surrounding horizontal strata means that it is lying at a 90 degree angle compared to the surrounding horizontal layers. This type of positioning of the rock layer suggests that it is a younger rock layer which intruded the preexisting rock layers. Such rocks occur because of volcanic activity, when the magma manages to penetrate through the softer rock strata and cut through it, thus disturb it and break its uniformity.
