C  Niagara Falls will migrate to Lake Ontario and cause Lake Erie to rise as Lake Ontario flows into it.

D  Niagara Falls will migrate to Lake Huron and cause Lake Erie and Huron to become one giant lake.

A  The excess water in the Great Lakes retreated through an ancient river system and to the sea.

B  The excess water in the Great Lakes retreated through an underground tunnel to the Mississippi River.

C  It refroze into smaller glaciers in Minnesota.

A  Basalt is an igneous rock that can only be created with intense volcanic activity, therefore it was discovered that a large rift formed here in the past causing the great depth of Lake Superior.

B  Basalt is an igneous rock—meaning that it formed from magma. This means that the Great Lakes formed due to volcanoes.

C  Basalt is a glacier deposit showing that the Great Lakes formed due to glaciers.

A  The drumlins that a volcanic eruption blasted the surface causing conditions to cool and resulting the glaciers forming

B  Each drumlin faces the opposite direction, revealing that many giant forces formed them all most likely many glaciers

C  Each drumlin faces the same direction, revealing that the same giant force formed them all most likely the glaciers
