Deck General USCG Q#18 (Set 1)

Which of the Great Lakes is generally the last to reach its seasonal low and seasonal high water marks?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Lake Superior

Lake Superior has the largest surface area and volume of the Great Lakes, resulting in significant thermal inertia. This massive water mass causes a delayed response to seasonal temperature changes, leading to the latest seasonal high and low water marks compared to the other lakes in the system.
