The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is an act with which the Great Lakes should be protected and restored as much as possible. The Great Lakes are the largest freshwater reservoir on the planet, but the human activities have largely destroyed these waters. The waters have become polluted, making them not suitable for drinking, in some areas even for recreation, badly affecting the flora and fauna in it as well. Another problem are the invasion species brought by the humans, as these species are threatening the native species that can not cope with them.

In order to stop this, there's numerous things that are set as goals of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, including control of the pollution, removing of certain objects that pollute, controlling the invasive species and stopping the introduction of new ones etc. Also, the prime goal is to return the waters to their natural state, where they are clean and to be suitable for usage.

Alona [7]

Answer: c) The formation of the ice age glaciers occurred about 21,000 years ago.

Explanation:

The last glacial period occurred in the period between 115,000 - 11,700 years in the past with the recent glacial period called Quaternary glaciation. Though some call this period the last ice age, it is a wrong definition because ice age is defined by year-long ice which still persists in the Antarctica and Greenland. The last glaciation that occurred 21,000 years in the past, is the last glaciation on Rocky Mountain.

It occurred in the period 31,000 - 10,000 years and between 23,500 - 21,000, it was at its highest. The glaciation was not made of the giant ice sheet but was made of mountain glaciers known as Cordilleran Ice Sheets. These sheets produced Lake Missoula which late caused Missoula flooding.
