🔍 Key Concepts

• Short-term water level fluctuations (seiches) on the Great Lakes • How lake shape, orientation, and depth affect water piling up at one end during strong winds or pressure changes • Prevailing west-to-east winds over the Great Lakes region

💭 Think About

• Which lake is shallow and elongated, making it easier for wind to push water from one end to the other? • How would a shallower lake respond to strong, sustained winds compared to a very deep lake? • Think about which lake’s orientation best lines up with the typical wind direction across the Great Lakes.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which Great Lake is shallowest overall • Check which lake is long and narrow enough for wind to set up a strong seiche from one end to the other • Consider which lake’s east–west orientation makes it more exposed to prevailing winds
