Lakes of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and Geology (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Lakes of North America: A Reading Lesson for Students of Geography and Geology

The history of a lake begins with the origin of its basin and considers among other subjects the movements of its waters, the changes it pro duces in the topography of its shores, its relations to climate, its geological functions, its connection with plant and animal life, etc. It is in this general order that the lakes of North America are considered in the present volume. The standpoint from which the subject is treated is that of the geologist and geographer, its relation to man being left to the archaeologist and the historian.
