4. The Great Lakes
• The Great Lakes - Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and
Ontario are an important part of the physical and cultural
heritage of North America. Spanning more than 1,200
kilometers (750 miles) from west to east, these vast
inland freshwater seas have provided water for
consumption, transportation, power, recreation and a
host of other uses.
• The water of the lakes and the many resources of the
Great Lakes basin have played a major role in the
history and development of the United States and
Canada. For the early European explorers and settlers,
the lakes and their tributaries were the avenues for
penetrating the continent, extracting valued resources
and carrying local products abroad.

8. Desert Animals
The animals that live in the desert usually have special adaptations that allow them
to survive the extreme temperatures and conditions that are present in a desert. A
good example of an animal with special adaptations is the camel. A camel can
drink very large amounts of water in one day or survive for a relatively long time
without drinking any water.
