Landforms of the Great Lakes - Fine Art Print
The Great Lakes are a particularly beautiful collection of linked
shapes. They also mark the southern edge of the Laurentian Shield
covering much of Canada (and most of Minnesota). Massive ice sheets
planed the shield to bare rock and very low relief. Their weight
depressed its center, now Hudson Bay, the destination of the region’s
northern rivers. This is the land of literally uncountable lakes and
vast wetlands in the north. The southern parts of the region are marked
by successive moraines and river courses that trace their outlines.
