This time we asked what the volume of water in the Great Lakes is. The Great Lakes hold roughly 5,500 cubic miles (23,000 cubic km.) of water, which is about one-quarter of all the freshwater held in the world’s lakes. Together they cover 94,950 square miles (246,000 sq. km.) and are the largest inland bodies of water in the world.
The question (and answer) were found using World Geography (Salem Press). This ebook is arranged into six volumes by world region. Each region covers the following interconnected categories to present a global view of how geography affects our world: Geographical Concepts and Worldview, Human Geography, including Political Geography, Regional Breakdown, Physical Geography, Economic Geography, Biogeography, and Natural Resources, and a Gazetteer. Find the ebook listed alphabetically under W on LAPL’s Research & Homework page and access it with your library card. Once on the page for the ebook scroll down to the very bottom of the page to find World Geography.
