Explanation:
Lakes abound in North America. Most of them are products of glaciation, which has had a vast effect on the continental drainage pattern—notably by widening the passes through the northern Appalachians and the Cordilleras and by forming big lakes in ice-deepened basins.
The Great Salt Lake is a relic of Lake Bonneville, the ancient strandlines of which are up to 1,000 feet (300 metres) above the present shoreline.
Similarly, present-day Lake Chapala in Mexico represents only a small portion of the large body of water that accumulated on the Mexican Plateau and whose level fluctuated during several pluvial periods.
