Lesson 1-3 Notes: Bodies of Water 8/23/16 Lesson 1-3 Notes: Bodies of Water

Inlets and Lakes An inlet is any area of water extending into the land from a larger body of water. The largest inlets are called gulfs, and the largest gulf bordering the United States is the Gulf of Mexico. Bays and sounds also shape the coastline of the United States. A sound is a long inlet that separates offshore islands from the mainland.

Inlets and Lakes The Great Lakes are the largest lakes in the United States and in North America and are located on the border between the United States and Canada. Huron Ontario Michigan Erie Superior The Great Lakes and the rivers connected to them link the Midwest and the Atlantic Ocean. Most lakes are made up of fresh water, except for the Great Salt Lake in Utah, which is as salty as any ocean!

Rivers Rivers are bodies of fresh, moving water. Every river begins at a source and ends at a mouth, where it empties into a larger body of water. A tributary is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream or river. A river and its tributaries make up a river system. A river system drains, or carries water away from, the land around it. The land drained by a river system is its river basin.

Drainage Basins in the United States

Rivers in the East Many rivers cross the Coastal Plain and flow into the Atlantic Ocean. Many cities have been built where rivers flow into oceans (New York City, Boston). Living near a river made it easier to travel and to transport goods. Some cities lie inland along the Fall Line, which divides the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain. A fall line is a place where the land drops sharply, causing rivers to form waterfalls and rapids.

Rivers in the West The Continental Divide is an imaginary line that runs north and south along the highest points of the Rocky Mountains. This line divides the major river systems of North America into those that flow into rivers leading to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean and t hose that flow into the Pacific or Arctic Oceans. Rivers that begin east of the Continental Divide eventually reach the Atlantic Ocean. Most rivers that begin west of the line empty into the Pacific Ocean.
