Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c) Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan
Explanation:
- The Great Lakes of North America are a series of interconnected freshwater lakes.
- Moving from the East (Atlantic coast/St. Lawrence River) to the West (Interior), the order is: Ontario → Erie → Huron → Michigan → Superior.
- Lake Ontario is the closest to the Atlantic Ocean and the lowest in elevation.
- Lake Superior (not listed in the sequence but part of the group) is the furthest inland and highest.
- Lake Michigan is the only one located entirely within the United States.
Information Booster:
- A popular mnemonic for the names is HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
- They form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth by total area.
Additional Knowledge:
Option A, B, and D
