    Question

    The correct order of location of Great Lakes of America from the coast to the interior is:

    A.

    Michigan, Ontario, Erie, Huron

    B.

    Ontario, Huron, Erie, Michigan

    C.

    Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan

    D.

    Erie, Ontario, Huron, Michigan

    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
    • These provide incorrect geographical sequences of the lakes relative to their distance from the eastern coast.

    So the correct answer is (c)
