Gun Lake Research Paper
One of Barry Counties most visited and largest lakes is none other than Gun Lake. The lakefront is home to a deep Indian history that reflects the
extensive development of the surrounding area over the years. The lake is a key area in Barry County for recreation and tourism, but its rich history is
its most important aspect. An Indian tribe called the Match–E–Be–Nash–She–Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, formerly known as the Gun Lake
Band, permanently settled on Gun Lake in 1838. The Gun Lake area provided a great area for hunting and fishing. The surrounding forests also
provided building resources to create homes and wooded tools. The local wildlife also provided a great source of nutrition for the tribe as well. Before

Beyond The Boundaries By Larry Lankton
In Larry Lankton's text, "Beyond the Boundaries" we gradually enter an unknown world that is frightening yet filled with immense beauty for miles.
Due to the copper mining industry, a gradual increase of working class men and their families start to migrate to the unknown world with unsteady
emotion, yet hope for a prosperous new life. In "Beyond the Boundaries", Lankton takes us on a journey on how the "world below" transformed the
upper peninsula into a functional and accepted new part of the world. As we first enter the upper peninsula in Lankton's text we come to understand
how different this part of the world was from the rest of the "world below". As travelers started moving into the region they became amazed by how
unique the land truly was " Those who traveled through or settled on the Keweenaw Peninsula or Isle Royale were almost universally struck by its
remoteness and by how greatly it differed from other places they had lived"(8). As people first start moving into the upper Peninsula they start to
understand that along with its beauty and contrast comes a strong and fierce environment. With its long winter 's, deep waters, and unbearable pests it
made it extremely difficult for people from the "world below" to move into the region "In 1855, the last supply ship of the year bound for Ontonagon

History Of Water: The Great Lakes Of Michigan
Water: How it shapes the Land
Michigan is well–known for the amazing Great Lakes that create its breath taking shoreline. The lakes contain about 23,000 km3 of water, covering a
total area of 244,000 km2. The Great Lakes are a series of interconnecting fresh water lakes that hold 18 percent of the world's fresh water supply, and
90 percent of the United States fresh water supply. The Great Lakes are made up by Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Superior, right off
the coast of Marquette, is the biggest, deepest and coldest out of them all. The Great lakes didn't just appear in the land on their own. They were
formed by weathering, erosion, and deposition over ten–thousands of years ago, one–thousand years ago and hundreds of years ... Show more content

Deposition is when rocks, sand and sediment are deposited by erosion. Numerous causes affect when and where deposition occurs once the
sediments of the land have been eroded. The speed of the wind and water is the main importance because wind and water slows heavier sediments,
that and then dropped out of the soulution and deposited. The mass and size of sediment also affects the rate of deposition because larger, more
heavier particles are deposited by wind and water before smaller, less heavy particles. The shape of sediment also has an effect on how sediments are
depositioned. Round pieces of sediment settle more quickly than flat pieces (Deposition Facts for

How Water Made A Mitten
How Water Made a Mitten When looking at a map of the United States, finding the state of Michigan is not a difficult task. Michigan is a unique state
in which it has a distinct and familiar shape, therefore commonly referred to as "the mitten" state. In addition the Lower Peninsula that is shaped like a
mitten, the great state is composed of an addition peninsula. These two peninsulas are surround by 5 "great lakes", which contains 18% of the world's
fresh water supply. The diverse shape and topography of Michigan can be attributed to the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition throughout
the area. The beautiful landscape we enjoy today began to take shape over tens of thousands of years ago under a sheet of ice.

These drainage basins that formed 6,000 years ago are the origin of the Great Lakes we are familiar with today. These glacial lakes are thought to
much larger than the current bodies of water surrounding Michigan. The evidence of these lakes can be found, for example, around Saginaw bay
where there are eroded bluffs and plains located far away from the current Lake. Glaciers also left us many moraines in the state of Michigan. Moraines
are land masses where debris, carried by glaciers has formed ridges or mounds. Moraines can be an indicator of the end of a large glacial retreat.
Moraines are created by the wasting ice sheet and are composed of glacial till. Glacial till (unsorted glacial sediment) is laid down quickly as the
glacier moves and is composed of various sediments with many rocks and stones. In Michigan there are many famous moraines. As the lucky
residents of Marquette we can look out our windows and see evidence of glaciers because of all of our rolling hills. Rolling landforms are a typifying
aspect of a moraine.
The great lakes have certainly influenced Michigan's unique shape and distinctive mitten shape, however those lakes aren't the only sources of water
that contribute. There are over 36,000 miles of rivers and streams throughout the state of Michigan that have also helped shape the land we enjoy today.

The River Bank At My Uncle 's Camp
When I was young, I used to refrain from going down to the river bank at my uncle's camp. I hated it because I was always afraid that I would fall.
It was steep and so much higher than the river it surrounded. As a child, I never stopped to wonder why the land was so much higher than the
water. Looking back now, it seems very simple. The water shaped the land. Although I experienced this on a very small level, we see it on an
enormous scale every day. Throughout Michigan and even throughout the entire world, water has created the land shapes that we are used to. Without
water, we would not have the unique land structures that exist today. I was born and raised right here in the beautiful state of Michigan. Michigan is
a unique place because it is two separate peninsulas connected by a bridge and separated by the Mackinac Straits. In short, us Michigan natives have
grown up surrounded by water. Michigan has about 58,000 sq. miles of land and 38,000 miles of water. The majority of the water that makes up
Michigan is formed from the Great Lakes: No point in Michigan is more than 6 miles away from one of the Great Lakes. It is clear that water is a
big part of the composition of this state. Since water is such a big part of Michigan, I find myself very curious about what it is and what it does. The

Copper Mining Industry Analysis
Copper mining became extremely popular in 1843 in what is now known as the Copper County. Here was on the only place in the whole United
States of America to get pure, native copper, that was until the early 1900s. The first documented reports of copper being found in Michigan was in
1667 by Claude Allouez, a missionary from France. In Allouez's report, the Native Americans in theLake Superior area, known as the Chippewa's,
really valued the copper nuggets they found there. The Upper Peninsula was soon to erupt into the center for the mining industry (Molloy, 1999).
When American miners started to migrate to the Copper Country in the 1840s, there were many pieces and nuggets of copper that were left behind in

In the Copper County, miners were not allowed to form a union until just before 1913. The strike was about the conditions of the miners and what
they had to go through while mining, it was an extremely dangerous job. They did not get paid much, the labor was intense, and the days were long.
The strike lasted about nine months until the union that formed the strike, was ran out of town. It was considered a turning point of mining history in
the Keweenaw, even though it was not a success (Watson, 2014). During the strike, something very disastrous and heartbreaking happened in
Calumet, Michigan. Most locals know the story of the Italian Hall Massacre, it is known as a very important part of the mining strike. It is Christmas
Eve, 1913, and many strikers decide to throw a party for their families and children for the holiday. There are more than five–hundred people inside the
Italian Hall in Calumet, which is also home of the Calumet and Hecla mine, one of the biggest mines in the area. Everyone is dancing and laughing
and having and amazing time if all their friends and family, and the strike slips their minds for a while. Then, all of a sudden, someone screams
"Fire!" Although there was never a fire, panic erupts in hall, everyone searching for a way out, running towards the only door and staircase. Everyone
barricaded the door on accident, and many tripped and fell. There were so many people blocking the door that the firemen could not even help there
on the main door, they had to go up the fire escapes and through the roof. There were seventy–three people just piled on the floor in front of the door,
dead from being trampled or suffocated, at least sixty of which were children. Many people were considered suspects, but the truth is, no one knows

The Importance Of Water In Michigan
Living around the Great Lakes like we do in Michigan brings a lot of advantages. We have a great amount of water, unlike much of the United States.
Water has shaped Michigan to its shape over the past thousands of years. The total area of Michigan is 96,716 miles squared. The total surface of the
Great Lakes is 94,250 miles squared. Michigan is surrounded by 4 of the 5 Great Lakes like shown in figure 1. The Great Lakes include Lake Superior,
Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie. Water has shaped Michigan to the shape it is by many different ways. Erosion, transportation, deposition,
glaciers, and manmade causes.

Is Lake Superior Going to Be Fresh Out of Water? Essay
The Great Lakes are one of the largest freshwater systems in the world, and Lake Superior is the largest and the deepest of the five lakes. But in 2007,
water levels almost reached a record low, causing unease and uncertainty among the local population. Due to the decline of the water levels, it is evident
that Canada should invest more funds into improving the Great Lakes system, as there is much more Canada can and should do to lessen economic and

being transported with the same transport costs for a larger shipping, leaving behind several tons of the shipments on the dock for another trip. Not
only would this cause a loss of millions of dollars in profit, but it would also create a more costly transportation liability to ship the same cargo in
shallower waters. Also, large vacation and tourism yachts are now limited to twenty large yachts that measure up to 19.5m in length, down from a
30–yacht capacity (Larmour 1). With a smaller capacity in the lake, tour companies cannot send out as many large yachts into the Lake. Canadian
tourism agencies in the Great Lakes area will not be able to make as much profit as they would with higher water levels. Less water also means the
waterline will retreat, so lakefront cottages will no longer be at the lakefront (McGuinness 1). The cottages will lose their credibility, and their value
will decrease. Less and less people will have the desire to visit their cottages on the lake, and since the cottages are now inland, it will be difficult to
sell them when the time comes.

Great Impact Of The Great Lakes
The Great Impact of the Great Lakes
Glaciers are formed in places where there is adequate snowfall and cold temperatures; specifically, the area needs to have temperatures that are less
than 32* F and more snow than is able to melt in the summer. Present–day, glaciers only form in high latitudes and high elevations. However, 14,000
years ago, during the Pleistocene Ice Age, Michigan was covered by a mile–and–half–mile deep glacier. Over thousands of years, the temperatures
alternated from warm to cool, causing the glaciers to retreat and advance. As glaciers traveled this way, they took the path of least resistance. This
caused the glaciers to move south from modern–day Canada, along the riverbeds that existed where the Great Lakes now ... Show more content on

In addition to the Great Lakes, the glacier also created kettle lakes in Michigan. These are lakes that are formed by broken–off pieces of glaciers as
they move. These pieces create indents in the land, known as kettles (Glaciers: The Work of Ice). If these kettles are below the water level, a kettle
lake will form. Kettle lakes can usually be identified by their irregular, wavy edges and depths (Schaetzl). One example of a kettle lake is Higgins
Lake, a lake in Roscommon County, commonly used for fishing and recreation, pictured here (MSU Hydrogeology). Because much of Michigan's
bedrock is sandstone, glacial erosion led to a large prevalence of sand in Michigan, creating beaches, dunes, and wetlands. This abundance of sand has
also impacted the shores. The glacial deposits of sand throughout the state are transported by the westerly winds, moving from west to east, creating
dunes on the coast of Lake Michigan, but not Lake Huron. Dunes also exist somewhat inland on the west coast of Michigan, while Lake Huron's sand is
blown into the lake, creating a sandy bottom (Ettema, 2010). One of the largest dunes on Michigan's east coast is the Sleeping bear Dunes, pictured
here (Sleeping Bear Dunes). In addition to the astounding features created by the glaciers, their movement and disappearance also created an

These formations caused the water level in many lakes to drop, and flow into rivers. With the weight of the glacier removed from the land, isotonic
equilibrium occurred. The region began to rise, at a rate of about thirty centimeters per century (Leelanau, 2004). Water levels in the upper basin
began to rise, forming lakes that filled the Michigan, Huron and Superior basins. Today, this isotonic rebound is still occurring, but at a rate of 53
centimeters per century. The rebound occurs at different rates across the area that was covered by the glacier. The difference in rates emerges from
the difference in weight of the glacier. Areas that are rising the fastest today are those that had a thicker or heavier glacial ice, or those areas that
had ice covering those most recently. Because of the difference in rates, the lower basin rose more slowly that the northern outlets (Leelanau, 2004).
As the water changed directions to flow through the St. Clair River, the shape of the Great Lakes reached a point close to what they are at today. The

Characteristics Of A Freshwater Lake

Within the lentic ecosystems, temperature plays a crucial role. Lake temperatures does not variate drastically, but does change gradually with every
season of the year. Summer, the thermic stratification of lakes, can be studied in different layers (Figure 2). The superior level of alake that is
terminally stratified, is known to be epilimnion, which is the warmer part of the fresh water body. This water remains in the superior part because as
the water gets warmer, the light of the sun becomes clearer than the dense water downward. The metalimnion is the known layer that would be ubicated
beneath. This layer is defined by the thermocline where the temperature slightly decreases. In this phase, the temperature decreases 1 В°C for every
single meter that descends. Hypolimnion would be the last stratified layer in a lake. This deep and cutoff from sources of air. (Korstad 2017)

One consequence on the environment would have been from the pollutants the mine would have given off. One of these pollutants would be Mercury.
In the process of getting iron ore from taconite pellets, which is what is mined, the taconite must be heated up, one element that is given off during the
heating process is Mercury (WI DNR, 2003, 22–25). When Mercury is in it's gaseous form, it enters the water cycle and helps form acid rain (WI
DNR, 2003). When the acid rain is released as precipitation, it enters the waterways and pollutes the waters. In the case of Northern Wisconsin, this
acid rain would help pollute the Bad River Watershed, one of the biggest tributaries of Lake Superior, which would be polluted from the Mercury.
Pollution of Lake Superior would be devastating. Lake Superior is the world's largest freshwater lake and it's water flows through the Great Lakes,
down the St. Lawrence River, and into the Atlantic Ocean, all of which would be polluted. Also, Lake Superior is a huge source of drinking water for
a huge portion of cities located right on the lake including Ashland and Superior in Wisconsin, Duluth and Cloquet inMinnesota, Sault St. Marie and
Marquette in Minnesota, and Thunder Bay in Canada just to name a few (Lake by Lake, 2003). Another major pollutant is Sulfate. Sulfate is one
of the major parts of taconite mine runoff. Sulfate does the same as Mercury except it is mixed in the water right away instead of being in acid
rain, though it is a component to acid rain (WI DNR, 2013, iv). Sulfate directly ran off into watersheds creates more problems than if it were just in
acid rain. In the Bad River Watershed, wild rice is a prominent crop grown in the water for the Ojibwe. That runoff can form Sulfide, and it has been
shown in Minnesota to be toxic to wild rice, helping destroy a means of income for so many people ("Wild Rice Sulfate, 2014, 5–6).

Hydraulic Fracturing In Michigan, The Great Lake State
Michigan, the Great Lake state. Michigan is quite unique among the states for it touches four of the five great lakes, hence the nickname the great
lakes state. Michigan has over 12,000 lakes, and more shoreline than any other state besides Alaska. "you're never more than six miles from a lake"(),
making it easy to see why Michigan has a thriving recreational industry. Blue water, sandy shores and towering sand dunes make this state truly
special. Hydraulic Fracturing, or "Fracking" threatens to take away what makes this state so special. Fracking provides short–term benefits and is a
much cleaner alternative to coal, but has negative long–term impacts. The First is that fracking uses huge amounts of water. Every time a well is
fracked, millions of gallons of water are removed from the Great Lakes hydrological cycle forever. Secondly is the worry that potentially dangerous
chemicals used may escape and pollute the air and contaminate groundwater causing a number of environmental and health hazards. ... Show more

This geological landscape was the Great Ice Age. Michigan was affected by the WisconsinGlacier which was an extremely huge ice mass. It stretched
from its tip of the Hudson Bay, and its bottom down by the lower end of the Ohio River. While the climate was changing and not warming up, the
meltwater from the glacier carried rocks and soils afar. This created low hills across the state of Michigan. The grinding of boulders created particles
of various sizes and weight. The heaviest pieces fell first. These pieces formed ridges, which in turn formed flowing streams. The weight of that
glacier over Michigan was gradually becoming smaller. The earth began to act like a sponge. The Michigan landscape began to emerge. Plants began to

Several native fish to Lake Michigan include; Lake Trout, Sea Lamprey, Deepwater Sculpin, Yellow Perch and Burbot (Tsehaye et al., 2014).
However, these fish live in very different areas of the water and prefer different water temperature. Per the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources, Menominee, White Sucker, and Longnose Sucker fish are all bottom feeders. They prey on aquatic insects, fish eggs, small clams and
crayfish. White Suckers prefer warm, shallow waters, but Longnose Suckers prefer cold, deeper waters. There are various fish that cannot be found
deeper than 20–30 feet such as Largemouth Bass and Yellow Perch. Largemouth Bass are significantly larger in size and will often grow longer
than 20 inches, while Yellow Perch are much smaller. On average, Yellow Perch grow to be between 4 and 10 inches long. The Largemouth Bass
will prey on aquatic insects, but also eat minnows and other small fish. Within the Great Lakes, there are some species of fish that live in rocky
areas. Brook Trout and Rock Bass are two fish that can be found in shallow, rocky water. Both Brook Trout and Rock Bass mostly feed on aquatic

Managing You Time

Richard T. Christensen, Management Consultant
In any organization, the manager's bosses, peers and subordinates, in return for their active support, impose some requirements, just as the manager
imposes some requirements upon them when they are drawing upon his or her support. These demands constitute so much of the manager's time that
successful leadership hinges on an ability to control this "monkey on the back" effectively.
Why is it that managers are typically running out of time while their subordinates are typically running out of work? In this article, we shall explore the
meaning of management time as it relates to the interaction between ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Send me a memo on that."
Let us analyze this one. The monkey is now on the subordinate's back because the next move is his, but it is poised for a leap. Watch that monkey.
Johnson dutifully writes the requested memo and drops it in his out basket. Shortly thereafter, the manager plucks it from his in basket and reads it.
Whose move is it now? The manager's. If he does not make a move soon, he will get a follow up memo from the subordinate (this is another form of
supervision). The longer the manager delays, the more frustrated the subordinate will become (he'll be "spinning his wheels") and the more guilty the
manager will feel (his backlog of subordinate imposed time will be mounting).
Or suppose once again that at a meeting with a third subordinate, Smith, the manager agrees to provide all the necessary backing for a public
relations proposal he has just asked Smith to develop. The manager's parting words to her are "Just let me know how I can help." Now let us analyze
this. Here the monkey is initially on the subordinate's back. But for how long? Smith realizes that she cannot let the manager "know" until her proposal

It has taking over a million of years of activity to actually form the rock foundation of Michigan. However the sculpting that was done by the glaciers
didn 't happen until the Pleistocene Epoch. The various glacial features that were found in the northern Peninsula was formed largely by a glacier in
Lake Superior. The glacier covered a great portion of the northern Peninsula and upon melting the glacier created a series of moraines– which are long
lines of ridges composed of boulder like clay which was dumped from the glacier. In certain areas the moraines that were created made the
topography usually rough. Other features caused by the glacier are drumlins which cigar shaped ridges, eskers or long, narrow and winding ridges and
lastly glacial lakes. (Wilson)
Another element that as influenced the structuring of Michigan is erosion. Erosion is the action of a process which removes soil and rock from
one location on the Earth 's crust to another location. Sand dunes are an excellent of example of the cycle of erosion, transportation, and deposition.
In Michigan the sand dunes are mainly composed of quartz. The reason Michigan even has sand dunes is because of the Great Lakes. The way sand
dunes are created is when sediment gathers near the shore, the waves then pound the beach and send the fine grains of size into deep water while the
large sized grains are moved nearer the shore. Finally during a storm the sand will form piles of sand and when the sand

the feeling of peacefulness. When the viewer witnesses the landscape, the composition exemplifies a scene of a beach in the winter with its many
blue tones. The work of art resembles a beach with a cool atmosphere incorporating mostly blue, grey, and white. In the foreground, there is a tree
trunk at the shore of the ocean which is centered and surrounded by many stones. The trunk has no texture due to the abstraction of its form; no
detailed lines are present and the solid vertical strips of dark colours simplify the structure. There is an evident presence of light as indicated by the
diagonal lines that descend from the top left hand corner of the painting. The lines illustrate dynamic movement of the sun beams as they collide with
the contour of the freestanding form. The combination of elements, such as line and colour, bring about harmony as well as evoke a sense of

The State Of Michig A Fascinating Area
The state of Michigan is a fascinating area. From its mitten–like shape, to its historical background, to the presence of the Great Lakes, Michigan has a
story unlike any others. One very important part of Michigan's story is how water has shaped the land making up the state. Seeing as the Great Lakes
surround Michigan, it is obvious that the hydrologic system plays a great role in the water supply and the ecosystem of the Great Lakes. The hydrologic
cycle includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, groundwater, transpiration and runoff, all of which keep the Great Lakes functioning year
after year. The University Corporation of Atmospheric Research developed an image to simply explain the hydrologic cycle as well as graphs
explaining how each of the elements of the hydrologic cycle affects The Great Lakes on a monthly basis (located below).
The hydrologic cycle keeps the Great Lakes up and running. Without it, Michigan would not have the inhabitants it does today. The abundant
supply of water allows a vast array of wildlife to live in Michigan, and made it a desirable place for early settlers to inhabit. However, the Great Lakes
did not just appear out of thin air. There is a long history of how the Great Lakes came to be.

Gun Lake Research Paper

  • 1. Gun Lake Research Paper One of Barry Counties most visited and largest lakes is none other than Gun Lake. The lakefront is home to a deep Indian history that reflects the extensive development of the surrounding area over the years. The lake is a key area in Barry County for recreation and tourism, but its rich history is its most important aspect. An Indian tribe called the Match–E–Be–Nash–She–Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, formerly known as the Gun Lake Band, permanently settled on Gun Lake in 1838. The Gun Lake area provided a great area for hunting and fishing. The surrounding forests also provided building resources to create homes and wooded tools. The local wildlife also provided a great source of nutrition for the tribe as well. Before they migrated to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Beyond The Boundaries By Larry Lankton In Larry Lankton's text, "Beyond the Boundaries" we gradually enter an unknown world that is frightening yet filled with immense beauty for miles. Due to the copper mining industry, a gradual increase of working class men and their families start to migrate to the unknown world with unsteady emotion, yet hope for a prosperous new life. In "Beyond the Boundaries", Lankton takes us on a journey on how the "world below" transformed the upper peninsula into a functional and accepted new part of the world. As we first enter the upper peninsula in Lankton's text we come to understand how different this part of the world was from the rest of the "world below". As travelers started moving into the region they became amazed by how unique the land truly was " Those who traveled through or settled on the Keweenaw Peninsula or Isle Royale were almost universally struck by its remoteness and by how greatly it differed from other places they had lived"(8). As people first start moving into the upper Peninsula they start to understand that along with its beauty and contrast comes a strong and fierce environment. With its long winter 's, deep waters, and unbearable pests it made it extremely difficult for people from the "world below" to move into the region "In 1855, the last supply ship of the year bound for Ontonagon has to cut its voyage short to escape oncoming winter"(12).

  • 3. History Of Water: The Great Lakes Of Michigan Water: How it shapes the Land Michigan is well–known for the amazing Great Lakes that create its breath taking shoreline. The lakes contain about 23,000 km3 of water, covering a total area of 244,000 km2. The Great Lakes are a series of interconnecting fresh water lakes that hold 18 percent of the world's fresh water supply, and 90 percent of the United States fresh water supply. The Great Lakes are made up by Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. Superior, right off the coast of Marquette, is the biggest, deepest and coldest out of them all. The Great lakes didn't just appear in the land on their own. They were formed by weathering, erosion, and deposition over ten–thousands of years ago, one–thousand years ago and hundreds of years ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Deposition is when rocks, sand and sediment are deposited by erosion. Numerous causes affect when and where deposition occurs once the sediments of the land have been eroded. The speed of the wind and water is the main importance because wind and water slows heavier sediments, that and then dropped out of the soulution and deposited. The mass and size of sediment also affects the rate of deposition because larger, more heavier particles are deposited by wind and water before smaller, less heavy particles. The shape of sediment also has an effect on how sediments are depositioned. Round pieces of sediment settle more quickly than flat pieces (Deposition Facts for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. How Water Made A Mitten How Water Made a Mitten When looking at a map of the United States, finding the state of Michigan is not a difficult task. Michigan is a unique state in which it has a distinct and familiar shape, therefore commonly referred to as "the mitten" state. In addition the Lower Peninsula that is shaped like a mitten, the great state is composed of an addition peninsula. These two peninsulas are surround by 5 "great lakes", which contains 18% of the world's fresh water supply. The diverse shape and topography of Michigan can be attributed to the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition throughout the area. The beautiful landscape we enjoy today began to take shape over tens of thousands of years ago under a sheet of ice. Approximately ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... These drainage basins that formed 6,000 years ago are the origin of the Great Lakes we are familiar with today. These glacial lakes are thought to much larger than the current bodies of water surrounding Michigan. The evidence of these lakes can be found, for example, around Saginaw bay where there are eroded bluffs and plains located far away from the current Lake. Glaciers also left us many moraines in the state of Michigan. Moraines are land masses where debris, carried by glaciers has formed ridges or mounds. Moraines can be an indicator of the end of a large glacial retreat. Moraines are created by the wasting ice sheet and are composed of glacial till. Glacial till (unsorted glacial sediment) is laid down quickly as the glacier moves and is composed of various sediments with many rocks and stones. In Michigan there are many famous moraines. As the lucky residents of Marquette we can look out our windows and see evidence of glaciers because of all of our rolling hills. Rolling landforms are a typifying aspect of a moraine. The great lakes have certainly influenced Michigan's unique shape and distinctive mitten shape, however those lakes aren't the only sources of water that contribute. There are over 36,000 miles of rivers and streams throughout the state of Michigan that have also helped shape the land we enjoy today. Rivers help shape landscapes through erosion and the transportation and deposition of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. The River Bank At My Uncle 's Camp When I was young, I used to refrain from going down to the river bank at my uncle's camp. I hated it because I was always afraid that I would fall. It was steep and so much higher than the river it surrounded. As a child, I never stopped to wonder why the land was so much higher than the water. Looking back now, it seems very simple. The water shaped the land. Although I experienced this on a very small level, we see it on an enormous scale every day. Throughout Michigan and even throughout the entire world, water has created the land shapes that we are used to. Without water, we would not have the unique land structures that exist today. I was born and raised right here in the beautiful state of Michigan. Michigan is a unique place because it is two separate peninsulas connected by a bridge and separated by the Mackinac Straits. In short, us Michigan natives have grown up surrounded by water. Michigan has about 58,000 sq. miles of land and 38,000 miles of water. The majority of the water that makes up Michigan is formed from the Great Lakes: No point in Michigan is more than 6 miles away from one of the Great Lakes. It is clear that water is a big part of the composition of this state. Since water is such a big part of Michigan, I find myself very curious about what it is and what it does. The first thing you need to know when you are researching water history is the water cycle. The water cycle is an infinite circle in which water evaporates, is carried ...

  • 6. Copper Mining Industry Analysis Copper mining became extremely popular in 1843 in what is now known as the Copper County. Here was on the only place in the whole United States of America to get pure, native copper, that was until the early 1900s. The first documented reports of copper being found in Michigan was in 1667 by Claude Allouez, a missionary from France. In Allouez's report, the Native Americans in theLake Superior area, known as the Chippewa's, really valued the copper nuggets they found there. The Upper Peninsula was soon to erupt into the center for the mining industry (Molloy, 1999). When American miners started to migrate to the Copper Country in the 1840s, there were many pieces and nuggets of copper that were left behind in the lake and streams by the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the Copper County, miners were not allowed to form a union until just before 1913. The strike was about the conditions of the miners and what they had to go through while mining, it was an extremely dangerous job. They did not get paid much, the labor was intense, and the days were long. The strike lasted about nine months until the union that formed the strike, was ran out of town. It was considered a turning point of mining history in the Keweenaw, even though it was not a success (Watson, 2014). During the strike, something very disastrous and heartbreaking happened in Calumet, Michigan. Most locals know the story of the Italian Hall Massacre, it is known as a very important part of the mining strike. It is Christmas Eve, 1913, and many strikers decide to throw a party for their families and children for the holiday. There are more than five–hundred people inside the Italian Hall in Calumet, which is also home of the Calumet and Hecla mine, one of the biggest mines in the area. Everyone is dancing and laughing and having and amazing time if all their friends and family, and the strike slips their minds for a while. Then, all of a sudden, someone screams "Fire!" Although there was never a fire, panic erupts in hall, everyone searching for a way out, running towards the only door and staircase. Everyone barricaded the door on accident, and many tripped and fell. There were so many people blocking the door that the firemen could not even help there on the main door, they had to go up the fire escapes and through the roof. There were seventy–three people just piled on the floor in front of the door, dead from being trampled or suffocated, at least sixty of which were children. Many people were considered suspects, but the truth is, no one knows what exactly happened that grim–Christmas Eve night. All we know is that it was a man who just wanted the strike to be over and done with, even if he never indented to kill ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 10. Is Lake Superior Going to Be Fresh Out of Water? Essay The Great Lakes are one of the largest freshwater systems in the world, and Lake Superior is the largest and the deepest of the five lakes. But in 2007, water levels almost reached a record low, causing unease and uncertainty among the local population. Due to the decline of the water levels, it is evident that Canada should invest more funds into improving the Great Lakes system, as there is much more Canada can and should do to lessen economic and environmental impacts. First, Canada's current management of the Lake's conditions is inadequate. The outflow of the water through Sault Ste. Marie and into other Great Lakes is not being tracked accurately ("Lake Superior: Where..."). Currently, it isn't certain as to how much water actually ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Cargo ships are forced to lighten their load by 50 to 250 tons to adjust to decreasing water levels ("Readers Want to..."). This means that less cargo is being transported with the same transport costs for a larger shipping, leaving behind several tons of the shipments on the dock for another trip. Not only would this cause a loss of millions of dollars in profit, but it would also create a more costly transportation liability to ship the same cargo in shallower waters. Also, large vacation and tourism yachts are now limited to twenty large yachts that measure up to 19.5m in length, down from a 30–yacht capacity (Larmour 1). With a smaller capacity in the lake, tour companies cannot send out as many large yachts into the Lake. Canadian tourism agencies in the Great Lakes area will not be able to make as much profit as they would with higher water levels. Less water also means the waterline will retreat, so lakefront cottages will no longer be at the lakefront (McGuinness 1). The cottages will lose their credibility, and their value will decrease. Less and less people will have the desire to visit their cottages on the lake, and since the cottages are now inland, it will be difficult to sell them when the time comes. Finally, the surrounding ecosystems' heath is at risk. Wild rice paddies are drying, as the water can no longer irrigate the paddies ("Lake Superior: Where...").

One of the prominent cities that reside on this river is Pigeon Forge. Naturally the town is centered along the Little Pigeon River as it gives way into smaller streams deep into the rolling mountains. This coupled with the fact that it is in a rural area and has numerous corn mills, it gave way to multiple backwoods moonshine distilleries (Thompson). Unfortunately, the Little Pigeon River would be discovered contaminated with fecal coliform in 1993 due to sewage leakage into the river. The contamination of this river was due to little oversight of waste management of water being put back into the Little Pigeon River. According to the Tennessee Department of Wildlife & Conservation, "The sources of the bacteria were thought to be, depending on the location, overflows from municipal sewage treatment facilities and collection systems, failing, improperly–sited and concentrated septic tanks and the direct connection of household wastewater to streams."

  • 13. Great Impact Of The Great Lakes The Great Impact of the Great Lakes Glaciers are formed in places where there is adequate snowfall and cold temperatures; specifically, the area needs to have temperatures that are less than 32* F and more snow than is able to melt in the summer. Present–day, glaciers only form in high latitudes and high elevations. However, 14,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene Ice Age, Michigan was covered by a mile–and–half–mile deep glacier. Over thousands of years, the temperatures alternated from warm to cool, causing the glaciers to retreat and advance. As glaciers traveled this way, they took the path of least resistance. This caused the glaciers to move south from modern–day Canada, along the riverbeds that existed where the Great Lakes now ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In addition to the Great Lakes, the glacier also created kettle lakes in Michigan. These are lakes that are formed by broken–off pieces of glaciers as they move. These pieces create indents in the land, known as kettles (Glaciers: The Work of Ice). If these kettles are below the water level, a kettle lake will form. Kettle lakes can usually be identified by their irregular, wavy edges and depths (Schaetzl). One example of a kettle lake is Higgins Lake, a lake in Roscommon County, commonly used for fishing and recreation, pictured here (MSU Hydrogeology). Because much of Michigan's bedrock is sandstone, glacial erosion led to a large prevalence of sand in Michigan, creating beaches, dunes, and wetlands. This abundance of sand has also impacted the shores. The glacial deposits of sand throughout the state are transported by the westerly winds, moving from west to east, creating dunes on the coast of Lake Michigan, but not Lake Huron. Dunes also exist somewhat inland on the west coast of Michigan, while Lake Huron's sand is blown into the lake, creating a sandy bottom (Ettema, 2010). One of the largest dunes on Michigan's east coast is the Sleeping bear Dunes, pictured here (Sleeping Bear Dunes). In addition to the astounding features created by the glaciers, their movement and disappearance also created an interesting interaction between the lithosphere, asthenosphere, cryosphere, and hydrosphere.

The tradition dates back to 2005, the first time I experienced the crisp Lake Superior air. My family pained through the six–hour drive, and found it was well worth it. We fell in love with the small town ambiance, and to this day still cannot let go if it. So many monumental family experiences can be traced back to Grand Marais.

Warren as well as express some of what I learned about the book, the author and the Ojibway people. William W.Warren, born of a white father and Ojibway mother, used his fluent familiarity with the Ojibway language and his tremendous popularity with both whites and Indians to document the traditions and oral statements of the Ojibway people at a time when the future of their existence was in jeopardy.

In 1851 he was asked to write a series of articles for 'The Minnesota Democrat' newspaper on the Ojibway people. These articles were the beginning stages of what became "The History of the Ojibway People". William wrote several articles for the newspaper and eventually finished the manuscript for the first, of what was to be a many volume series of books on the Ojibway people, in 1853. Upon returning home from a trip to a New York publisher, William Warren died of a severe hemorrhage at theyoung age of 28. Although William died before he could finish all of the volumes he planned and before he could get the work published, 32 years later, the Minnesota Historical Society first published the work as an early and unique contribution to the field of Ojibway history and culture. As stated in the introduction, written by W. Roger Buffalohead, "This book offers intriguing reading, full of tantalizing tales. One can only wonder how much more would be known about the Ojibway today if Warren had been able to finish his other volumes, instead of carrying his knowledge of his people into an early grave" (p.xiii). Warren's success can be attributed to the the high regard and popularity that he, the young man of mixed Ojibway and Euro–American heritage, enjoyed among both Ojibway and white people. Again, Buffalohead states, "It is true that Warren won the friendship, trust, and confidence of tribal members throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin; it is also certain that he was ...

The shape of Michigan is really unique, with two separate peninsulas to tell the story of how our state was shaped into the land we see today.

With the weight of the glacier removed from the land, isotonic equilibrium occurred. The region began to rise, at a rate of about thirty centimeters per century (Leelanau, 2004). Water levels in the upper basin began to rise, forming lakes that filled the Michigan, Huron and Superior basins. Today, this isotonic rebound is still occurring, but at a rate of 53 centimeters per century. The rebound occurs at different rates across the area that was covered by the glacier. The difference in rates emerges from the difference in weight of the glacier. Areas that are rising the fastest today are those that had a thicker or heavier glacial ice, or those areas that had ice covering those most recently. Because of the difference in rates, the lower basin rose more slowly that the northern outlets (Leelanau, 2004). As the water changed directions to flow through the St. Clair River, the shape of the Great Lakes reached a point close to what they are at today.

  • 18. Characteristics Of A Freshwater Lake Figure 1. The zones of a freshwater lake (Smith and Smith 2001). Within the lentic ecosystems, temperature plays a crucial role. Lake temperatures does not variate drastically, but does change gradually with every season of the year. Summer, the thermic stratification of lakes, can be studied in different layers (Figure 2). The superior level of alake that is terminally stratified, is known to be epilimnion, which is the warmer part of the fresh water body. This water remains in the superior part because as the water gets warmer, the light of the sun becomes clearer than the dense water downward. The metalimnion is the known layer that would be ubicated beneath. This layer is defined by the thermocline where the temperature slightly decreases. In this phase, the temperature decreases 1 В°C for every single meter that descends. Hypolimnion would be the last stratified layer in a lake. This deep and cutoff from sources of air. (Korstad 2017) Another crucial component is the description of the characteristics of a lake is to monitor the quantity of oxygen and carbon dioxide to various depths. There is a reciprocal relation that exists between these two elements when they are compared to the depth of a lake (Figure 2) (Korstad 2017).

One consequence on the environment would have been from the pollutants the mine would have given off. One of these pollutants would be Mercury. In the process of getting iron ore from taconite pellets, which is what is mined, the taconite must be heated up, one element that is given off during the heating process is Mercury (WI DNR, 2003, 22–25). When Mercury is in it's gaseous form, it enters the water cycle and helps form acid rain (WI DNR, 2003). When the acid rain is released as precipitation, it enters the waterways and pollutes the waters. In the case of Northern Wisconsin, this acid rain would help pollute the Bad River Watershed, one of the biggest tributaries of Lake Superior, which would be polluted from the Mercury. Pollution of Lake Superior would be devastating. Lake Superior is the world's largest freshwater lake and it's water flows through the Great Lakes, down the St. Lawrence River, and into the Atlantic Ocean, all of which would be polluted. Also, Lake Superior is a huge source of drinking water for a huge portion of cities located right on the lake including Ashland and Superior in Wisconsin, Duluth and Cloquet inMinnesota, Sault St. Marie and Marquette in Minnesota, and Thunder Bay in Canada just to name a few (Lake by Lake, 2003). Another major pollutant is Sulfate. Sulfate is one of the major parts of taconite mine runoff. Sulfate does the same as Mercury except it is mixed in the water right away instead of being in acid rain, though it is a component to acid rain (WI DNR, 2013, iv). Sulfate directly ran off into watersheds creates more problems than if it were just in acid rain. In the Bad River Watershed, wild rice is a prominent crop grown in the water for the Ojibwe.

The various glacial features that were found in the northern Peninsula was formed largely by a glacier in Lake Superior. The glacier covered a great portion of the northern Peninsula and upon melting the glacier created a series of moraines– which are long lines of ridges composed of boulder like clay which was dumped from the glacier. In certain areas the moraines that were created made the topography usually rough. Other features caused by the glacier are drumlins which cigar shaped ridges, eskers or long, narrow and winding ridges and lastly glacial lakes.
